Solve : New Dell Drive? |
|
Answer» Right Ive got win 98se working on a drive on the dell. ... remove IDE drive, install Sata, connect cables ... Your motherboard must support SATA drives to connect. You can't connect SATA with IDE cables. And Win98se does not support SATA drives. Tell your System configuration?The mobo has tags for Sata drives. I want to install the 500 and remove the OLD 98seConfiguration is Dell dimension4600i NEW 500 GIG STA Drive The tech set it up to go TODAY for me. 1igig ram Pentium 4 It has a 13 gig hard drive in it ( that I want to remove) with win 98se on it (( win98 doesnt have (manage drive) section in control panel.) The MOTHER has 2 SATA connections available. (the tech put the cable on it to show me where it goes) So in my mind all I need to do is remove old 13 gig. Power lead to sata 500 drive plug data cable to 500 drive. Power on and ? !!!!Ok. Just connect both data cable and power cable on SATA drive. I don't know, what about your knowledge with computer. But any one OS like Windows XP need to install on drive and you need to partition the SATA drive. You can refer steps to install xp pro and before you need to configure your system to boot from CD/DVD.Quote from: CBSk on September 05, 2008, 06:51:43 AM you need to partition the SATA drive.The tech PARTITIONED it today for me. My problem now is with the 98se installed the Dell doesnt see the cd player yet. I was hoping to install the 500 gig then put in a new cd player. OR should I do the cd player first with win98 in it then install the the new drive and load xp? My experience is good ishQuote The tech partitioned it today for me. If the tech mean Technician or service engineer, he can do it for you as fine. Quote doesnt see the cd player yet You mean CD drive or else. CD player is not same as cd drive. If it is CD drive, first connect CD drive with system before install xp. You need a CD drive to insert xp CD for the installation.For Win98 you will need to install the proper drivers to get a CD drive to work. If there are none available do a search for Oak Rom Win98 drivers. |
