Answer» I'am to lazy to buy a IDE cable with slots for 2 hard drives, So i was wondering is it possible to temporarily unplug my cd drive or my floppy drive and run the hard drive off those CABLES?CD yes, floppy no (different size being one of the problems!). I'am to lazy to buy a IDE cable with slots for 2 hard drives, So i was wondering is it possible to temporarily unplug my cd drive or my floppy drive and run the hard drive off those cables? If you're too lazy to do this maybe you shouldn't be adding any drives...I meant I was 2 lazy 2 walk 2 a store and get the cable.......Well Surprise, surprise I really goofed up. Now xp hangs at the welcome screen, but i still have control of the mouse I know im not giving much info on the problem but I'll SAY as much as i know. 1.Tried 2 install new hd 2.Didn't work so i hooked up the old one 3.Stays at welcome screen Any ideas? Im thinking about just fresh installing xp on my new hard drive, but anyone know how i can get this thing 2 boot? Also I get some sort of message talking about the battery being dead and the clock needing 2 be set. Could that be the problem?Well My final decision is 2 install windows 98 on my new hard drive then USE my xp upgrade disc.... MAN im dumb lolNo need to...just insert the Win98 CD when prompted for a previous version...You're only dumb if you install 98 first. Wasted step.
