Removed and replaced the battery. Now the power supply comes on after it is plugged in. Before I had to press front button...

I got the original 60 GB hard drive to work in my XP. I didn't even need to tell the BIOS about it. Windows made it drive F. The Western digital 80 GB drive would not work on mine at all. BIOS said it was not found or recognized after setup. I'll try the battery removal. Ted

Thanks for all of your responses! Here is some more detail: The XP machine I plugged the keyboard into never fired up. Only the light on the front lit up. The CD's never lit up and only the power supply fan can be heard. I could not get either CD drawer to open either. Nothing appeared on the...

I have a Dell Windows 98 SE machine that uses a PS 2 keyboard. I unplugged the keyboard and tried to use it on an XP machine. When I plugged it back into my 98 machine it no longer lights up or works! However Windows Device Manager says it is working correctly even when it isn't even plugged...
