i had a compaq with windows ME running on it, anyways one day it wouldn't start it would come to a black screen with the letters compaq on it and just spin, so i tried a windows me bootable floppy and that didn't work, tried recovery cd , nothin, ordered quick restore cd's and still nothing worked. so i put the hd in my new comp and reformatted it and then stuck it back in the old comp, i bought xp and put it in the cd-rom, but the cd wouldn't load same screen appeared. i tied to get to Bios with all the f keys but couldn't. then downloaded the 6 floppy bootable floppies ofr xp and them still didn't work, i would install xp to the old hard dirve on my new comp , but u have to disconnect the cd-roms to hook-up the hd. my next step is to try to copy the image but i cna't find a good free download of an imaging tool, i heard maxblast plus II is good but i can't find a download site.
any help on how to load an os on my old comp or any good free disk imagers would be greatly appreciated
