this theard was about buying. and i would get more people that know about this problem. (if it has even happened before). you might be the right people(some of you, lol). and i hope you not realy crying cause then i feel bad lol.
i got the computer from a guy and it was all stock.
the drive that came in it was so slow.
so i simply put a WD 40gig drive in it with w2kpro on it and thing(a copy of our other computer)
then i filled the RAM slots with 3x256MB 133mhz
so then i have fun with the computer cause its fast(for me)
i have no problems(the vcard gets burning hot though)
i shop for it.(the computer...mostly fans and vcards)
my mom wants the dsl back on her computer(didnt have wireless yet)
so i do that to make her happy
and i broght down the computer too(just the tower)
and hooked it up in place of my mom computer so i would be running my system and.... still have the dsl downstairs...loop hole?.....no.. i out smarted my mom.
and when i go to turn it on it happened(the problem). it never even goes to the windows loading screen.
and then i took it apart(the computer)
put it back together.
tried it again with the same problem as before
so i put a ramdom maxtor drive in it that had win98 on it.
and it boots up perfectly(just didnt have the windows password)
so i no it works(the computer itself)
i even tryed it with just that drive..no slave drive...
below is the past halfhour
i also tryed the same drive in the computer i am on right now which works cause i am on it. and it didnt boot up.(thats on a computer that work 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after i tried this)
