The hardware works fine but in terms of software... First attempt to boot up, got this:  LOL. I don't know the password to the BIOS for the computer I'm building, so plugged the hard drive into my normal computer and installed Windows XP home edition onto it there. Upon shutting down and replacing the hard drive with XP back into the new system, I get that. So, I have windows XP installed on the drive which works fine from my usual computer, but when I try to boot it on the new one, no matter what I try in terms of boot options (Including booting direct from c: which is the drive), it doesn't work. Halp, anyone? --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same |

If thats the case, try finding a PS2 keyboard and use that. --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz |
