My .i386 kernel will continue to run on the dual AMD 64 processor ?   I
knew it would run a 32 bit version of Windows, but I thought it would
need a different version of the Linux kernel.   Am I wrong ?

OK, guess that answers that.

Sorry, no cigar.  My old hard drive is 80 GB and it has Windows XP on
the first partition.  The new hard drive is 250 GB and has Vista with
all the drivers for the new hardware.  I need to run the new hard drive.

I am already using the hard drive adapter mentioned in that article.
My laptop quit a couple weeks ago.   I'm running the laptop hard drive
in an old (slow) Dell desktop while I wait for the new laptop to
arrive.
