Hi folks,
I gave a computer to my pre-teen neighbour. It's a Pentium II with all of 2G HD. Tenants had left it, Win 98, I cleaned it up and it worked fine. I thought maybe his mom could use it too for word processing. It also has a CD and floppy drive and I put a dial-up modem in. But, as young boys will sometimes do, he removed the hard drive, to, he said, show it to somebody, and he has brought it back to me in pieces. Frankly, I don't know how to reconnect it. (When I take things apart, I take notes; I have confirmed with the lad that he now knows too not to take things apart unless you know how to put them back together; so at least we had a learning experience ) I have visited sites that explain how to match up the red line side of the connector with a numerical equivalent on the various drives, but I can't find corresponding numbers or connectors on the motherboard; I think I need diagrams. I know I could just junk it, but I'd like to get it going and give it to someone who can use it. Any help would be appreciated.
Chas
