I have a Blaster Board M003 that had an original 13GB HD, and a friend (who apparently knows less than thought!) installed Windows XP on it, and then realized that it took up most of the HD, so told me to go buy a new HD, which I did, a 120GB one, which now my computer won't recognize, and in the attempts to get it going, the computer is now needing the Windows XP to be reinstalled on the original HD.
Two questions:
1) Is it better for me to just try to reinstall my Windows 98 and start over with the old drive and once I get the new one recognized on the computer, to install Windows XP to the new one?
2) I found a bios download for my motherboard - and I've saved it to a floppy - not quite sure what to do now - do I just let the computer boot up and it'll automatically grab the info?? Do I have to get Windows 98 back up and running first?
So confused, not sure if this is enough info - so if you need more, please ask!
Thanks for any help you can give me - I need my computer to actually work!
