That is something I wondered about - the hard drives did have a few slight differences, the majority of numbers matched, the dates were only a few months apart. I did worry me that in the boot list it just had IDE-0 and not the HDD model.
It boots up into Safe mode fine but blue screens when going into Windows as the desktop loads. I was going to disable start up items but am running a fresh chkdsk now, already a few index entries have been deleted...
