Windows XP validation on Secondary hard drive Closed

Question

Hello, 
I installed my old hard drives from my old computer, on a new computer running 7 OS. I had a motherboard fail.

Although I can see the all folders on my old drives I need to excess the information under Windows XP OS. Because Windows 7 will not run some op the applications, specifically Outlook Express.
I was attempting to use the my old primary drive, where Windows XP is loaded, as a booth up disk, Windows folder are still good...so I think.

I have tried to switched the old dive as the primary booth in the BIOS, but Windows require an activation code, which I do not have. I have a valid code key, but Windows will not except.
How do I get to validate Windows XP on my old drives? and can I boot up on Windows XP from my secondary drive?
Is any of this possible?

Configuration: Windows 7 / Safari 535.7
