The are still some chance that  using PickMeApp you may recovery your programs and settings.
 

The ideas is to boot Windows XP from your old HDD.
You may use your real PC or any virtual machines agable to work with a real HDD.
( for example VirtualBox has support for using a raw host hard disk from a guest since version 1.4 ). 

As you can see from the our previous     post, it is enough to start your old Windows XP  in Safe Mode. (It increases chances that you may boot your old XP,  as less hardware drivers are loaded)

In any case you may try to read following articles describing booting windows from old HDD
