Hi, At first glance, this seems to be a simple question on replacing old HD w/ new HD, but as you get into it you will realize that it is much more difficult than you would think-
I have a Compaq desktop. I want to replace the HD in it with a new larger and faster HD. The computer came with Win98. I upgraded to WinME about 6-9 months ago. Everything is fine. No problems with the system.
Here is my problem: How can one get Windows (either 98 or ME) onto the new HD? It seems you must have some form of Windows on your HD before you can put another (the same or different version) onto that HD.
I am not trying to do anything illegal here. I just want to replace my HD.
Can anyone tell me how?
thanks,
Ron
