you will definately have to reinstall all programs on to XP that are on win98, all files and setting can be moved to xp in various ways. when u move file between fat and ntf or fat and fat 32 the directories will be diff, either caps, concatanated~. as for the drive letter you can go into admin tool>comp management>disk management you can give each drive the letter u want., just do a reboot when you are done.

yow dude what are u trying to acheive, pc overkill. read very carefully, the spec that any windows pc comes with is telling you that with windows install barebone this is what is needed or recommended. non take a look at the spec that a software require say adobe reader V8 (the free one) that more resourses the software will nedd plus what windows will hog. so my advice, the less u put in the better windows with run..

1) The first fan inside the power supply that is directed at the back of the case produces very little air not like the normal fans although it revolves very quickly...what is the problem?

this fan removes heat from the power supply, if its spinning fast and little air or non is given off the fan is shot, or the power supply is clogged with dust thus blocking the clear path the the fan if dust is the issue, clean if that does not change the output replace the pwr supple or the fan

2) The second fan inside the power supply that is directed to the inside of the case doesn't revolve at all, so the power supply should be changed?
do u have 2 fan inside the pwr supple????
if the case fan does not spin change it, that takes the heat out of the case if it does not spin get a new one. or check if its connected.,
3) What is a system fan (not the CPU fan)? Where it can be located?
the systemn fan is the one on the case.
4)How to know if this heatsink works or not? heat sink cannot stop work it's a piec of aluminum that dicipate the heat from the processor, the main reason for using aluminum is that it cools faster and transfers heat better than other metals. it cannot stop working

5) The BIOS tells me that both the …

if u are getting "NTLDR is missing
Press Ctrl Alt Del to Restart" then there is no operating system, if u did install and get this message your MBR is mess up,

bobbyraw 16 Nearly a Posting Virtuoso

ok the fans inside your tower sould give off some type of air, howver the one on the CPU mught be turned inwards, you will not feel any air coming from it if thats the case. the heatsink is tha big aluminum grid you see with the fan on the CPU the brain of the Computer. the purpose of the ehatsink is to help remove the heat build up from the processor.
if the fans dont give off any air get them change.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {2A5E9D6E-869C-4140-9C09-C3FA34134658} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\basesr.dll

another tip any program in add remove that your dont recognized remove them any broswer addon/tool bar remove them, all of them any search engines remove them. these can all be added back when you are safe again.

because here is the thing if the program is install and u remove the file associated with it each restart will only bring it back especially the nasties

bobbyraw 16 Nearly a Posting Virtuoso

check the t-grease on the cpu. if it's flaky repace it. if u think it's heat shut down and run a fan or place close to an ac vent for 30 mn then try again. if it runs further after that it's definately a heat prob.

u can give it a try in the desk top, if it is bootable it will give u a message "press any key to boot from CD" if it does not boot from the cd u would have to get a bootable cd. if u have a iso reader on the desk top you can rip the image and make it bootable then burn back to another cd and bam you have a bootable cd

CS will be override by a jumper setting, especially if u have 2 hadd on the cable. also check your ide cable make sure there are no damages from pulling on it

if the refresh rate does not fix this, then most likely the cpu would be at fault. compare the spec on the old mobo to the new one, are they diff/simular. the processor is probably too slow for the fsb on the new mobo or you could very well be powering the system with too little power from the old pwr supply.

check the hard drive partition, normally these hdd comes with 2 partitions one that hold all the installation setting, if that partition is damage you could be getting the BSOD, also check the cpu. make sure good thermal grease is on between the heatsink and processor. and lastly give the hard drive a break it might ve very hot from all the work you have been doing to it.
