i only have one cd rom on my pc that has only 16 colors...the d: drive in now the
e: drive and the d: drive says it is using ms-dos compatibility mode file system,
and when i try to click on it to see whats in it, it says "would you like to format
the d: drive". i just want my cd rom back to d: the way it was....i found my drivers
on intels web site, and i copied them on a floppy, and none would fit, so i tried
to copy on 3 floppys and it woundnt work, then i tried to copy them onto a cd, and
it copied, but my computer wont read them in fact the cd rom just keeps, blinking(the
light).
i also opened up my pc, witht he 16 colors and the only wording i could find was..
ASROCK AGP8X
P4I65G
PRESCOTT 800 DUAL CHANNEL DDR 400
ROHS FSB800
SATA USB2.0 5.1 CH
i might just have to take it somewhere,the entire thing acts like a old dos pc, wont
take much of any programs. can i go buy windows 2000 profesional nt some where? and
would that have all the drivers? or windows xp? or other?
and MY BIOS VERSION IS AMI BIOS 080010 FOR INTEL.
maybe i can just take it to best buy? a friend took their pc there to get fixed,
and cost them $80. but i want to exhaust all ,my resources first. do they make a
large floppy that can hold more than the 1.44mb? thanks again for all your help and
advice

so my problem is getting the drivers from one pc to the one that has the problems,
besides having only 16 colors it has no audio and the modem isnt configured right.
