Do old computers know they've been replaced with a better model?
Reason is, and i haven't done anything to it, is we've got the new one connected up, but today I needed to grab backups off the old one, so I tried to turn the old one on.
The motherboard LED is just flashing continuously and won't allow me to power it on.
Weird... I'll have to try and plug the old hard drive up to the new computer now!
EDIT:
Got it powered up. Had to leave it off for a bit, but it seems like the drives died in the process?
EDIT 2:
Its working now, but it seems to be on its way out
