Today I bought a computer from a yard sale. Brought it home and could not even instal Mavis Beacon. Decided to take the hard drive out and put a samsung 40 gb sv4002h in. Computer does not boot up all the way, states that there is a mastery/primary hard drive fail, also floppy disk fail. I have never switched out hard drives. How do I know if I have the cables in properly. I just put them on the new drive like they were on the old. (If anyone sees this as funny and would like to laugh please feel free to do so) Laughter is good medicine.
The new computer is a PR 120 MHZ CPU
16 megabyte up to 128 Megabyte
1 GB IDE hard drive
256 Pipeline Burst Cache
windows 95
8x cd
I do not want to format the samsung hard drive, and do not have another drive I can slave onto.
Is what I am trying to do do-able? Any help is most appreciated.
Thank you
