So here's were I'm at.
The Dell came with XP Home and there sending me a new CD.
I didn't realize I already had the XP Pro for the Toshiba I wish I had realized that when I installed the new drive.When I inserted the CD after installing the drive it said starting Win 98. Well I talked to Toshiba today and they said it installs 98 and then goes on to install XP Pro. I've got the SP3 disc coming so I will go XP Pro on the Toshiba & Dell if I find the energy to do a reinstall on 2 machines. There also networked together and running smoothly. Oh well keeps me out of trouble.

I'd love to beef up the Ram on the Dell but everything I read says 512. It's a dell Inspiron 8100.
