I cant be 100% sure but it is not booting up and when I took the drive out I could at first not read anything from is using a USB-IDE adapter. After some gentle tapping I got it to spin up once and I got some of the files off it.
?I did the drill modification and hooked up a DVD player that I had with IDE to the secondary IDE port on the motherboard and I created a Win 98 SE boot floppy.? ?It boots up from the floppy and creates a virtual disc A: but it is not able to install drivers for the CD player. I probably need to find newer drivers that match the DVD burner.
If I stop the boot and go to the BIOS setup its not showing the DVD player. I also tried to hook up a 5.25" IDE Hard drive to the secondary IDE and that was not showing up in the BIOS either.?I then went in and changed the BIOS to activate the primary and secondary IDE's, hooked up the 5.25 to the primary on board IDE and it tried to boot from it.? It turned out to have Linux on it so it started up GRUB Rescue...? There is hope.? I wish I had a day to focus on it.? I'm working like crazy. I'm one of 4 people in a lab that normally have 600 people in it...
