~sigh~ I just purchased a refurbished computer that was working just fine until I tried to install my laptop hard drive to the desktop IDE line.
Here is the scenario: the notebook hard drive has a 44-pin connector and I connected it, FOOLISHLY, to the 40-hole adapter that I then plugged into the desktop. When the system turned on, the screen said that there was a configuation change and then, error 1962 No operating system flashed up on the screen with the diagram showing that I needed to press F1. That did not work at all.
I turned it off and then on again, now it only shows the IBM main screen and beeps loudly.
From what I remember about the beeping, that is not a good sign. :-(
The computer will not recognize the floppy disks for Win98 that I loaded into the floppy drive in the sad attempt to boot from there. I think that I totally [email protected]$#!ed up my computer.
Please confirm. thanks!
