dsenette, I haven't heard from you so I am
posting this again in case you missed it
the first time:
--------------------------------------------------------
Good morning dsenette smile.gif
I am using my good friend & neighbor's:
Dell Dimension 2400 Pentum 4 DeskTop with
Windows XP Home Edition.
Thanks for your input Skeptic :>)
I feel secure here, like I have a large family.
When I upgraded to the 80 gig hard drive a few
years ago, I attempted to get my PC to duel
Boot. My plan was to put Windows 98 on the
20 gig hard drive & Windows XP Home Edition
on the 80 gig hard drive. I was unsuccessful
at this. It ended up that I could only boot into
Windows XP Home Edition. I left it at that &
made do. I never found out what happened
to Windows 98.
I am pretty sure everything I need is on the
80 gig hard drive, including Windows XP Home
Edition.
==================================
Ok, this is where my lack of expertise comes
into play which compells me to ask possible
stupid questions. Although I beleive there are
no such things as stupid questions, some
silently disagree with me on that.
Am I to understand that I will need 2 computers
to get to my files?
You wrote: open up a working computer by the same process as above...
Does this mean:dsenette
#1 I should ALSO.... take the hard drive out of the second, working PC & put
the jumper on the SLV too? lookaround.gif
OR...
#2 Am I simply to open a 2nd working PC, ground myself & hook the drive up
to the middle connector on an open IDE cable (the cable that connects to
the hard drives then reboot ONLY? (My common sense tells me this is what you
want me to do but must be sure.)
