I forgot I changed my nic. Here is my follow up:
Thanks Rich that makes sense because they are different.
I did format the hard drive in the different computer with the
WinXP CD but still got the blue screen. Should I just format
it in the newer computer then reinstall in the other computer
and install WinXP?
Thanks for your help.
