I'm putting together a second computer made from old spare parts. All the hardware works fine. I installed WinXP Pro and it booted to windows with no problems. I then put this old HD into my new computer as the primary slave (I changed the jumper pins accordingly) and then copied over some files from my new comp HD to the old. My new comp is an Asus P4P533MX board and the old one is an AMD SiS chipset. The problem is, when I put the old HD back into the old comp (SiS chipset board) the comp hung at the windows load up screen. I rebooted, same again. The third time I rebooted it didn't even get to Windows load up screen. <br />
<br />
Can I not have two WinXP Pro OSs (on separate HDs) attached to one motherboard? <br />
<br />
Many thanks,

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
