I just bought a computer from www.intellsale.com for super cheap. I am putting it together for my 10 yr old daughter for all our old windows95 games that don't seem to work well on my new compuke. Its Hewlitt Packard 200 mhz. It didn't come with an OS(I didn't expect one) and I figured I would just flip my old hard drive in from my first computer and its OS would boot it up. Wrong. I get the Window95 picture then an error. It says "divide overflow error". I also tried using the boot disk from my old PackardBell I get an error there too. It says it cant find my CD rom. I looked in my Bios and cannot figure out how to assign drives(C,D &F)The two hard drives and the cdrom show up under the IDE devices but I dont see anything stating a drive letter assignment.
OK, I am blonde but I do need help. I always learn stuff by blowing it up. But I would like to do this right. Any recommended Web sites that would have info on Dos? I have been in Dos mode but I (duh)don't know a **** thing about dos. I have a floppy with a cdrom driver but don't know how to load it in dos. But that still leaves the dillemma of which drive it is.
HElP, Please. Thanks in advance
