XP Hell again

HELP!!!

My main (Win2K) machine started the disk-click-of-death.

I quickly ran out and bought a brand new computer with a 3 year complete

hardware warantee. I will never build another computer again.

The BAD news, the new computer has XP Home on it!!! SHIT.

I'm trying to copy everything off of my old computer and make the new

one visible to the other 2 computers on the network. I can't figure out

how to make XP allow other computers (Especially Win2K computers) to

access it.

I've opened up EVERYTING. Turned off the firewall. Set the root of the

C: drive to share with everybody but when I try to connect from my other

computers (One Win2K the other WinXP Pro) I get the stupid log on window

on the XP Pro and no matter what I try, I can't get onto the new XP

machine.

Any ideas?

TIA

(my first and best idea is to BLAST away WinXP and install Win2k Pro)
