[SOLVED] Hard Drive Transfer

I want to transfer the hard drive from my old computer (HP Pavillion a720n) to a newer one I got a while ago.. The older one stopped working, it turns on but gives me long continuous beeps and does not connect to the monitor.. I need to know if I can take the hard drive out of my old computer and hook it up into my new computer.. I don't need them to both run simultaneously, just need to transfer from one to another.. Are there any compatibility problems that I should check for before trying? Information on both computers is posted below..

OLD computer:
HP Pavilion a700 Desktop PC series -  HP Pavilion a720n Desktop PC - Product Specifications - c00232962 - HP Business Support Center

NEW computer: (Convertible Mini-tower [160GB Serial ATA HD])
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/...v.HTML#Technical Specifications - Hard Drives

They are both running WinXP, just different SP's..

If you need to know any info, please ask as I need this done asap.. I don't want to spend any money unless it is necessary.. And I don't mind manual work :)
