This doesn't work. I tried to take the network card out of the computer with SE and install on the ME computer but it wouldn't work. I'm learning and any help would be appreciated.

Just make sure that when you install the second hard drive, that you enter the BIOS and select to boot from the first hard drive. I find when I install another hard drive into a computer, the BIOS always defaults to boot from it instead... Cheers Troy
