2002 small footprint Shuttle has 40GB HD, WinProfessional OS, 256 RAM. I want to swap HD w/160GB, WinXP SP2. What kind of problems will I have w/MOBO? I will also upgrade to addl 512 RAM
 
A shuttle cica 2002 shouldn't have any issues with either the 160gig HDD or the additional 512 module.
Try if possible, to buy a double sided 512 module as a single sided (higher density) may or may not work.
Examine the manual to see if it has a compatible memory chart.
Crucial.com gaurantee their memory compatibility.
You could see if the shuttle website has a bios upgrade for your model, this will insure greatest compatibility for the larger HDD and memory before the parts are added.

I presume you mean install the 160GB drive then install WinXPSP2, correct? You can't expect to just drop a new drive w/ an OS pre-loaded into a different system. Even if the chipset is identical there can be issues.
