PC#1 =Asus A8V -VM AMD 3200 64 CPU M/B. On board video - 1GB memory /Win XP Pro SP2

PC#2 =Asus P5K-ELGA 775 INTELL P35 ATX INTEL M/B / Intell Core 2 Duo E460 Allendale 2.4 GHZ LGA 77r 65 W Dual-Core Processor /2x1GB 240 DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 //Win XP Pro SP2. NO on board Video-Added a 512MB Video Card.

What I did. Took WD 250G Sata out of PC#1-placed into PC#2 Booted fine. Everything there.

Next hooked new out of the box Seagate Barcu Sata 500GB /Partitioned 235G & 230G to PC#2 M/B and did a disc clone from WD.

Put Seagate into PC#1 - Bios sees it ..goes through boot to the point of starting to bring up WinXP log screen "Blue Screen Of Death"

Put ORIGINAL WD 250 back into PC#1 =same results. "Blue Screen Of Death"

Both HD's will boot fine in PC#2. Not in PC#1. Only if I do "Safe Mode" will it boot.
Hoping not to have to do a new WIN XP install on the HD going into PC#2. Got any ideas?
Would you remove M/B battery and clear BIOS on PC#1? In Fort Worth, TX

You managed to get the first drive to boot before the clone.
This does not usually work.
Windows loaded default drivers for the new hardware.
then you cloned that drive and the drivers on both drives
are apparently not compatable with the other board.
If you have a retail XP CD, you can boot to it and start
the installation and it will look for previous installations.
Choose to repair the installation.
Then install the hardware drivers afterward.
