well, i just got a used computer, a dimension 4600c its an older machine but it seems alright, well it did seem alright. right when i got the computer i opened it up that there was dust everywhere ( i got it from my brother and it hasn't been used in god knows how long ) anyways i pulled out the canned air and blasted those damn dust bunnies. When i was finished i started up the computer and it brought me to the login screen then realizing that i didn't know the password. Lucky enough i had a copy of ultimate booter v5 because i recently had to use it on my other computer, anyways i used it because i knew that it has the ability to delete the BIOS files so i could get in. ( and i tried to use my password recovery disk but for some reason after when i tried to boot with the dimension it says input not supported even though i was using a VGA cable because thats the only one that would work ) But after i rand the ultimate booter disk i try to start it up, and it says SATA hard drive 0 not found. I find that strange because i know its a IDE not a SATA but anyways i know the hard drive works because i hooked it up using my USB 2.0 to IDE&SATA cable and its recognized on my computer, i made sure everything is hooked up correctly in the computer all the cables seem fine, but no luck. =/
Any help would be great! =)
P.S. I'm trying to get this computer fixed so my sisters have a little something they can mess around with and not worry about much, i'm kinda on a deadline. =/
