Keep pressing F8 while the computer boots until a menu pops up. Select "Do not automatically restart on system error" or something like that. That will prevent the automatic restarting.

yes the BSOD error code would greatly help in troubleshooting this.

but aside from that, did you install that copy of windows xp onto that hard drive with the same computer? if you're just plug n' playing the XP hard drive from a different machine all together, you may have driver conflict issues, and in my experience i've had a lot of problems with installations particularly from OEM pcs, and trying to save data from them for transferring.

What Syloui says.  If your XP wasn't installed on that PC (or one just like it), the drivers most likely aren't right for the hardware you're trying to run it on.  That results in BSODs.

 

Plug the drive in while the PC is running from your Win10 install, recover the data that way.

If the install of xp wasn't done on that computer, then it won't have the drivers necessary to actually run and will always instantly blue screen every time since older windows operating systems aren't as robust as windows 8 and beyond and won't change drivers when it runs on hardware it wasn't originally used with during its installation.
