Whats up overclockers,
Not sure if I screwed up or not.I recently found a complete
Gateway 2000 P5-166 XL next to trash can in my building.So far so good
but,(theres always a but).I took the hdd out( wd caviar 2.1gb)put it
in my rig formatted it to fat32 using windows xp.Should I of done this?I put it back in the gateway and tried booting it with win 98
with no luck.I keep getting the same prompt,1.Boot from hard disk 2.
Boot from cd-rom.But when I choose one of the options I get a blank screen with a flashing _ .Is the win 98 a bootable disk?When I formatted the
hdd I did not give the partition a drive letter or path,could that
be the problem?I have also changed a few things with the gateway.
New ps,took out the Intel i166 cpu and put in Intel i200 cpu.Also changed the cables and added some fans Everything seems ok just cant get os to load any ideas?Thanx alot in advance.
Take it easy and if its free take it quick
