I had a POS system that eventually quit on me because it was so old. I was running a 60GB hd with 50GB XP partition, and a 10GB Linux partition. I bought all new hardware besides CDROM, hdd and floppy. I can't boot, which I expected with xp, but I can't even get into my Linux partition (Red Hat 8). I was going to try and format that partition and copy my docs over, then format 50GB partition, reinstall XP _again_ and copy docs back from 10GB partition to 50GB partition. With the OS configured to my hardware, you know, so it would run. I also have a windows 98 boot floppy, but I can't boot into dos with that either. Once I post, nothing happens except the floppy drive is accessed sort of randomly. I ordered another HDD, but I am wondering if there is another problem seeing as how I can't even boot off a floppy.
Help is appreciated. Thanks.
