QUOTE(dre @ Feb 27 2008, 07:52 PM)  Download Damn Small Linux, which is only 50 mb, copy the ISO to a CD, boot with it and see if it find your hard drive. However, I think this may be a problem with your BIOS, either the hardware itself or bad settings, but still, try that first. Well, then again, the poor guy(girl?) doesn't have a computer to use. Unless there's an old one he(she)'s using. But yes, download a copy of Linux (either DSL or Ubuntu) and try to run that. If it works, stick with it. Windows costs $200 anyway. Return that copy to them and shove it in their faces with a look on your face that says, "I don't need this, retards*! I've got Linux!" *Just kidding. You might get sued for that. And by "retards" I mean "people behind on computer development". Okay, what... this topic is 4 years old! This reply is outdated.

Sata And Ide
