AMD 1.4Ghz T-Bird
256MB DDR
Asus A7M266
Radeon 32MB
Win XP Pro
40GB 7200RPM Maxtor DiamondMax
This system was my old system I had several years ago. I recently tried to set it up again, but ran into problems. When I tried to install windows, it would either began formatting the drive then comes to a message saying the "drive is either damaged or check settings" screen. Sometimes it would not even start formating at all. So I decided to install Windows on my other computer and reconnect it once it is finish setting up. But it would not load up windows at all, not even safe mode. I was thinking maybe there is something with the mobo, but the computer was perfectly fine sitting in its corner collecting dust until recently. So I was hoping anybody could give me some advice on this. Thanks in advance!
