Hi there. I have just cobbled a computer together from two broken ones - I've pinched a hard drive from the one with a busted power supply and a random blue-screen issue, and put it in the one with a busted hard drive. I then ran the Windows 98 boot disk and it's running - it just updated the version of Windows that was already there.
The problem is, Device Manager says I have no drivers for the following:
PCI Ethernet Controller
PCI Multimedia Audio Device
PCI System Management Bus
PCI USB
Without these I can't get on the network and I have terrible resolution on my display - I don't know what other hidden issues there may be!
My best guess is that I should reformat the hard drive and start again.
Is this my only option? If so, is there any info I should write down now before wiping it?!
