The do it yourself bug has stuck, I'm somewhere between a rock and a hard place. How I gor back here I'm not really sure, but I made it. Okay, here's what's happening, I've been running on a four gig hard drive, and I'm just about maxed out, so when a shiny new 80 gig caught my eye I jumped at it. I spent yesterday afternoon installing and changing and changing and doing this that and the other thing, but I couldn't get this computer to boot up. So, I slept on it, sort of. This morning, I pulled the drive cage, swotched the new drive to the top, and the old to the bottom. I placed the jumpers to make the new drive the master and the old the slave. I plugged in the IDE cables, black to the master, grey to the slave, plugged in the power cables, and in desparation put in the 98 cd, along with the floppy, and hit power. Everything came back, but the new drive is not being recognized because I have to change cmos, and I haven't a clue what to do once I get there. So after I get into cmos, what do I do? Also, I don't know why, my music player isn't working, when I turn on the speakers I get a rhythmic thump like the drive spinning, I'm all messed up.
