Hi,
Was given an old computer which I bought a new Intel motherboard & processor (833Mhz) and 256MB RAM, and a 40GB Seagate HDD.
The HDD would boot to Win95, but wouldn't recognise the CD drive or Floppy drive, so I reformatted. I tried to boot from Floppy after this, but it just whirrs around for a few seconds, before declaring 'Disc I/O error'.
At least the BIOS is recognising they exist!
Tried this HDD in my other PC, which says it's 'protected' by KRNL or something.
Anyone help me here? Downloaded WinXP, and have that burnt to a CD.
May the floppy and CD ROM be just too old? (Samsung SCR3231)
Help!
