My ex said he pulled out the extra drive, but left everything else alone (yeah right). I'm afraid he killed my computer. Please Help!! It will turn on, start the BIOS (?) then says "boot from disk" did he wipe everything?

Hello, I am helping someone with a computer problem.
They have a serial mouse that is not working at this time.
They claim that all the drivers are installed correctly.
They have Windows 98.
Their serial port is free of dust and other objects.
They are about to reinstall the drivers... again.

When it start the HP the screeen goes total black after the Xp splash screen. The only other mode work is the Safe mode and the VGA mode. Whn in VGA mode when I change to higher resolution or colour the screen turn blank like the startup. I suspect some display problem. Any idea? Please, professional technical suggestion only. The machin is past its warranty/service contract date. There are no virus and the display card is neither Intel, ATI, nor nVidia.

They're at about 3 to 4 ghz right now. How fast will they be in 10 years from now? 10 ghz? 20 ghz? How long before they are in the Terrahertz? LOL When the first IBM PC came out in the late 70's/early 80's, it was 4 mhz! Think how long ago that was, and now they are almost 4 ghz.

Will HDD size affect temperature on it? I know RPM has a big impact to make HDD hot. But is there any difference between 80G and 40G? I want to upgrade my Laptop's HDD, but the old machine is not good at heat issue.

I'm asking this out of pure curiosity. :) Does anyone other than myself still have, and use, a Macintosh running OS 9.2 (or lower?)

I have a G3 iMac that doesn't have enough memory OR hard drive space to "comfortably" upgrade to even the oldest OSX. Basically, if I did, my Mac would run as slow as a snail AND I'd only be able to have about ONE program open at a time, otherwise I'd risk a memory-related crash. I can't operate like that! Hence, I can't upgrade to OSX .

Of course, I also have a great multimedia laptop running Windows XP, so it's not like I'm "stranded" with a dinosaur. *chuckle* I use my laptop for certain important things, but I still use my Mac desktop for certain other things that it's still great at. For example, I have Adobe Photoshop on there, and I use that program a lot for both biz and personal use. I also have some truly classic Mac games on there that I love!

Anyway, if you have an OS 9.x Mac, for whatever reason, please stand up and be counted! :)

The drive didn't come with a CD or anything. When I go to Add New Hardware, it says Windows was unable to locate a driver. I'm sure this is something simple, but I'm just not sure what to do.
