I am assuming you are have file sharing on comp A turned on. If it is using NTFS, it would not work if you are sharing folders in My documents. You will have to share the whole C drive.
Try disabling and then reenabling the NIC card. Also, you might want to set SSID broadcast on when you are trying to debug the system at this point. I've heard there have been some issues of connection when SSID broadcast is off.
If you don't want to spend that much money, you should get a B wireless router with PC card, assuming you have broadband. They should cost about the same as a cross over cable. It would not be that great on connection but then you are going to use with Win 98 so it should not be too bad. Just...
At what point of the installation does this message come up. Also, does the drive keep spinning (like it is trying to read the disk) when the message comes up?
I am not saying everything would work fine. That might not be the problem. I am saying that XP should not check for ACPI compliancy anymore, but then when I disable my integrated sound XP still loads the drivers. So you never know.
I think you should Ghost it for a recovery backup and try converting to NTFS first. It sounds like your shutdown didn't finish properly. If you are going the reformat route, I would reinstall Windows and restore your data only from the ghost images.
Depending on the differences in your mobo you cannot move HDDs like that. You can try to repair the XP version with the install disk. When the install asks if you want to do fresh install or repair, make sure you do the repair. Otherwise it will install over your existing XP.
If this is Windows XP, you can use the boot CD and go to repair console when it first loads up. Or you can change the Win 98 boot disk to load the SATA drivers.
PSU 350 should be enough for 1 DVD and 1 HD. What case do you have? If your CPU is not overheating then it could be your RAM. Do you have heat spreaders on your RAM?
Don't have it plugged in and take out the battery and put it back in. Even in sleep mode that would effectively turn off the machine and take it out of sleep mode.
What wireless cards are you using? I have WRT54GS and have no problems with my laptop wireless, only the WMP54GS from linksys has problems (which I find funny).
