you should be able to swap out the hard drive.
with XP there are a few catches, but it should work with a laptop.

The unfortunate thing is that XP will croak without all the drivers properly configured for the destination computer. Also, XP licenses that come with portables are not transferable.

Couldn't he put the laptop HD in one of those portable devices with a USB2 device that can connect to any PC to transfer the work?

Can be bought on sale real cheap I think.
Could later be used for backup and other things.
