Here is what to do.
First reformat the drive on the new computer. Install OS X from the disks that came with it. It will ask you if you have another computer that you want to transfer data and settings from. Click YES. Connect the the two computers together using a Firewire cable. This will transfer all the stuff on your Mac partition.
Then intstall Boot Camp on the new Mac using the system CD. Then clone the Windows partition using a Windows cloning tool.

I am not sure if you will be able to successfully do this. I say this because even though both this computers are from Apple they do not have identical hardware/firmware. The best way to transfer your files/settings might be to install OS X and XP on your 17" Macbook Pro and use the transfer options for both OS X (Migration Assistant) and XP (Files and Settings Transfer Wizard). You will still need to install the applications on the new computer, but once your done with that your desktop experience should be near identical to what you already had.
I hope this information helps. Good luck.
