I have a lic for the win XP, installed using computer #1 (my best computer).
Installed hard drive into computer # 2, won't boot up but when I used the hard drive it came with (win 98 it boots.
tried the hard drive in two other computers, one is a 386 and the other is a pent 3 1.? ghz
neither booted up.
plan C is to do a fresh install on hard drive and install win xp on computer 2 or 3.
my son says that if you install win xp on one computer and then install that hard drive into a different computer, it won't boot up (an issue with the cpu serial # is put into the win xp installiation thus preventing a boot.
may just have to find out if swordfish and mplab work under win98. if not then plan C
