Clarification-
The laptop has had XP from the beginning, it's about 10 or more years
old. The compatibility issue is with the new HP desktop I had to
buy, which came with factory-installed Windows Home Premium on it.
The machine which slowly died had 8 hard drives on it, was built in
one of those "gamers" boxes, and has 3 fans that make it sound like a
threshing machine. I was able to copy the data files from 6 of the
drives to my big backup drive for the new machine and they are just
sitting in the old box until I can clean them up and donate
them. Also in the old box are 2 SCSI drives with Open System Unix on
them, will probably let those go. There is more to tell but it's so
far off topic I'll stop here.
