Are you sure that's the least you'll take for it? Cm'on, old OS etc. Who's gonna pay you more than negative nothing for it??? ;) ;)

Don't drink n' type.

"I am hatching up a plan to undermine Microsoft."

You are obviously an agent of the European Union!

I tried to install a router board in the old PC. It looked like it was doing the installation and then it reset itself to 16 colors mode. When I tried to reset the color to true, it wouldn't let me. When I turned it off and on then on it comes up "diskette drive 1 failure" and freezes up. After a minute it beeps and prompts me to go to "setup" via F2. Once I get there everything is set to default . I ran scandisk and chkdsk in all their forms but it tells me "no problems found". What's up??

BTW. I can get it to start in MSDOS from the backup start diskette but no Windows in directory.:confused:

One more thing. If I hit F1 it tells me "no boot drive available".

sorry cap'n, we only kid because we feel for ya! time for a new machine though...

On the other hand, you could try going into the BIOS and removing the diskette drive from the boot list. You didn't just leave a diskette in there by mistake, did you? Seriously, that machine ain't gonna do what you need it to, or at least do it well.


cheers,
dan
