The old computer has no CD and the floppy doesn't work.

If so, how?! (in layman's terms please!)

Also, will this extend the desktop or will it simply give me a duplicate on a second screen?

Thanks in advance.

About 2 weeks ago i got a message after boot up saying that my cmos battery was low - this resulted in my boot-up sequence changing (instead of the text identifying all the hardrives, cd-roms etc i got a screen with the logo "msi the link to the future") and windows forgot the date and time but everything still worked. However now my computer will not run windows, it always restarts itself just before the windows logo appears (the bit with windows xp and the green or blue? colours going across it) or if it doesn't restart then it just sits there doing nothing. I have tried booting off my other hardrive but no success. I have also tried reinstalling windows but after the very 1st bit where it says "press f6 if u want to install raid and scsi drivers" it then goes blank and there is no more text on the windows install screen. I have 2 copies of xp and both discs to exactly the same. So i was thinking that this problem was due to my cmos battery running out? any help would be appreciated

I recently got this sharp little PC case that has a metallitc blue and *silver colored* front bezel on the front. However, somebody swapped the original CD drive and replaced it with an ugly beige unit which spoils the whole front piece of the PC.
I asked a local PC vendor about selling me a silver colored drive (the faceplate), but he said that all CD drives come in only two colors - beige/white and black! I hoping that he's totally wrong. BTW, I've noticed that this silver coating is on so much OEM electronic stuff. Basically, it's just a kind of paint to make the plastic parts appear to be metallic. Someone help me find silver colored CD drives so that I can prove this guy wrong and the finishing touch to my PC case.
