Got this for $10 dollars at goodwill with a ram stick. When I turn it on I get PXE-E61 error then "Operating System not found" error. Have tried with another hard drive with Windows XP and does exact same thing. When I put in another computer my windows xp iso runs, but does not see hard drive. Want to get this to work!!!

Check the sata adapter on the hard drive make sure its not bent or damaged.
You may need to go by ebay or amazon and buy a new one.
