1. Unplug the hard drive you spoke of from the computer.
2. Place a correct Emergency Startup/EBD disk in the floppy and start the computer.
Note: Ensure however that the CMOS/BIOS recognizes this boot situation.
3. What happens?
4. Is the 120GB drive new and has it never has been formatted?
I am rebuilding my old computer, I am moving parts from my sister's almost 10 year old computer. Over to my 766mhz hp pavilion 7840. I replaced the hard drive which was orginally 30 gig, and put the 120 gig western digital hard drive in its place. The only thing I really moved from my sister's old computer is the cd-rom. I did move a ethernet card over, but kept getting operating system not found. So I took it out, the computer has no cards just a motherboard,cd-rom,hard drive,along with a power source.
My problem seems to be either two things
1. my keyboard locks up on me telling me to unlock it but have no clue how to do that. 0213 i believe the code is
2. I get by the much aggrvating keyboard lock, but the screen turns completly blank I hear a beep and thats it.
I can't even use the cd-rom to load any sort of programs
The keyboard I use is a multimedia GE keyboard just bought it
Please help me out I am getting rather aggrvated
