Your drive is standing on its last leg. Any data that you value, get a backup of it asap. Your drive could last a few more months, or a few more minutes.

re-install NT on the new comp, during the instalation, press F6 at the blue screen in order to load your SCSI drivers for NT

I agree with teknoguy totally on this one. Just a note, the contents of a HD do not affect the Bios ability to detect it. It could care less what was on it. You may even want to check for the latest bios version for your computer on the compaq site...

Go into your device manager and see if you can change the irq of your NIC to interupt 10, this is fairly standard for most NIC's anyways. You may have to reserve an interupt, remove the nic and reinstall it. If not, maybe try and see if another NIC will default to irq 10 or let you switch it...
