See this's the thing, I think i'm gonna be able to hook everything up in the case no problem..but set the bios and all this shit..I don't know how to do that.
I don't know all the shit i gotta do to the system before installing XP pro nor do i know how.
I honestly didn't know that i had to fuck with the bios and set it up and all that. I figured i would just leave it as it is, Kinda like default or whatever..but i guess not lol.
I was just told that partitioning a brand new hard drive before installing the OS would be easier on the HD, I was just goin by what i was told.
One more question, My current computer is a compaq Presario that's like 6 or 7 years old..And i was kinda thinking about adding it's HD into the new system..But i don't know if it's really worth it and how much life is left in it..Or if it will even work with the new components.
Oh and..I don't have a dos boot disk lol. Am i fucked?
And i didn't get a floppy drive, I'm only gonna have my CD-RW/DVD writer, I'm using that for installing software too.
Ha..all of a sudden this just got more complicated, I guess the motherboard's manual will tell me how to set the bios or whatever eh?
I'm somewhat of a computer illiterate, Can you tell yet? But i figure if i don't try it then i'll never learn..but i really should try it on somebody else's new system before mine
