On another computer I'm using Microsoft coporate edition xp that I borrowed from a friend. I just have a few questions.
1. Is it alright to get updates from microsoft.com or will they get me?
2. When I start my computer, very old one, it says floppy disk failed (40), however when I log into XP it says that a floppy drive has been detected and installed. Should I worry about this or is XP fixing this everytime I boot up?
3. I'm have a D-Link 524 wireless router running at protocol 802.11b. Is it easy as getting a wireless desktop card and installing it to get a wireless network, or would I have to do more?
4. Also I have another hard drive, not installed yet, about 10 GB that is known to be corrupted. There is some information that I want. Can someone help me through the process of getting that information or is it too late?
Here's all the information I know about my computer:
AMD/ K-D 450 MHz 192 mb ram 8GB hard drive, 32mb Nvidia graphics card, 54mps ethernet 40x cdrom
Well thanks for all your help.
