DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.

Muahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

I gave up on the unknown quantity with the cool heatsink and weird slots I've never had cards for and dug through the MoBo Box. I came up with one that needed the spare old style power cord adapter, but it's happy as heck with the four lug CPU power cable. It has one AGP and three PCI slots, USB AND FireWire, IDE AND SATA, so I can't ask for much more out of a spare/castoff MoBo box.

It fires right up, the fans slow down, it thinks for a while and then tosses that lovely greeting across the CRT. Heck, it even powers down when I push the power button again.

Now I can look for that dratted Win95 HDD in the AM. [:)] ]'>
