re: 3 dollar computer Monday, March 27, 2006 at 8:43 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jack Gulley (5917 messages posted) Sounds like the disk drive is bad, damaged, not plugged in or missing. Which might explain the price you paid for it. Old machines are often sold for low prices like that after usable parts are taken out and replaced with defective ones. Bought for what parts can be used from them. If you have experience in fixing old hardware, you know how to boot the system with a Windows boot diskette and check what hardware works and what does not. Sounds like the processor, some memory and the video adapter is working anyway.
