o/s problem

[brinks]

Don't know, it's still worth a try.

Also are you using the 80 wire ide cables, if not your hdd won't be able to get full transer speed.(plus you have to connect the hdd to the end of the cable, not the middle one if only one hdd is connected to it.)

The 40 wire cable is fine for cd\dvd drive.

ok that worked now what should i do to get it to work for installing the o/s it is taking forever and after it says please wait while your computer configures your settings all i see is a black screen

Did you put in the o/s disk?
Also go into the bios and set your boot order to boot from your dvd/cd.. first.

Wait abit, i'll do some searching and see if i can find anything.

What is the error code?

First try setting BIOS to 'Default Settings' or 'Optimal Settings.

If that doesn't work.(And you have 2 sticks of ram) only install just 1 stick. If it doesn't work again swap it with the other stick to try too.

Might be one of these problems
