Post by Mitth`raw`nuruodo »

Okay, I finally got *my* computer mostly working. Any thing you guys recommend to do?

Win 2k
ATI 7200 (latest drivers)
Mozilla

That's all I've done to it so far.

(Oh, and 5 GB hard drive (woot!) :roll: )

I have two 20-gigs and an 8-gig (came from my old x-box!), but this old Dell mobo refuses to recognize any of them.

In that case, I'd recommend either

a) a BIOS upgrade, or, if that doesn't work,

b) a new motherboard.

Because a mobo not recognizing 20 (leave alone 8 ) GB harddrives is either pathetic or positively ancient.

A $20 Promise ATA card would also work.
