i recently purchased a dell optiplex gx1 with a p111 533 and 15g hd and 256m ram ,cdrom and floppy. this is a computer that we are giving my motherinlaw to play solitaire and ocasional internet /e-mail use. here is my prob. i installed win98se on it all was fine. i then installed a v-92 56k modem into the pci slot. when i tried to detect the modem i was unsuccessfull in both slots with the driver on cdrom. i then removed the modem and went to re-boot, got to the win98 start screen but no further. the hard drive just ran on and on until an error message popped up saying problems reading. i then put in a floppy boot disk to get to dos prompt at least. when i tried to switch over to hard drive (c it came up not readable. so this is my quandry.....any help would be appreciated.
