So does that come on HG tv or Tech tv😕
 
I wonder if that's the problem with my Mom's computer. I tried to install dual boot for her (she wanted to try Linux, but hasn't since), but the HDD would never boot anything but Linux. I somehow found the right files to copy to a floppy to start the boot process, and she's been booting Win2K off a floppy ever since.
 
lol you guys/gals are great.

It wouldn;/t even let me see the drive except in the bios. no warnings nothing lo

Could be Ken.

It wasn't till I started writing zero's tio the hard drive that it finally saw it in fdisk.

I might eat brains...might...never have yet😉 but might...But I'll never eat rocky mountain oysters...No matter what...EW lol
 
I ate goat brains once. Nasty. No Rocky Moountain Oysters for me either. Unless they were paying me alot of money.
