Is this a home built or name brand computer?

What are the complete system specs for this computer? List parts by brand and model.

Does the SATA HDD show up in the BIOS?

Are the SATA drivers on a floppy disk? How did you make the disk?

Are you just dragging the file from the CD? Or are you double clicking on the file to execute it and then if creates a bootable floppy with the drivers on it?
