Update on the New PC saga
I hinted in my last post that all was not 100% going well with my latest adventure into the world of hi tec.
My barebones machine arrived but because I am such an impetuous sort of bloke (not) I failed to look at what it comprised.
So as I tried to put it all together...just moving my CD and CD writer from the old machine (this one) into the brand spanking new one.
I lacked a hard drive.........so undaunted I got back on line and ....after asking advice ..........purchased one.
It arrived and I set to plug the dangled mass of wires within the new PC into the bright spanking new Hard drive.
Ah oh !
My new Motherboard's specs were for a SATA Hard drive, my newly bought Hard drive is ATA....I can get an adaptor to fit it in....but it seems like a bit of a cheat.
So up to date I have a brand new PC without a hard drive and a brand new copy of windows XP and a good,but useless Hard drive, because it is incompatible with the new PC.
I have now the option of buying another hard drive and putting the other one into this PC or buying the adaptor to fit the ATA hard drive into the SATA motherboard.
I hope you followed that ?
Further updates will follow..........
