I had old pentium 2 sitting around my apt. The computer worked fine before i decided to throw in a extra wireless card i had and bigger hard drive. I also unpluged the wire to the diskdrive and put it back. When i trun this thing on i get two errors.

162-System Option Not Set
1782-Disk Controller Failure.
 
Few things:

1) Have you checked both ends of the cable to make sure they are seated properly?
2) Did you check the power cable? It may have come loose.
3) Did you remove the power cable and forget to plug it back in? (I've done this before)
 
I'll check the other end of the hardrive wire, this is the only thing i did not check, it might be lose... Its almost imposible to get to it.. i have to like take apart like 20 things lol.. Actully i was wrong, only 2 screws and the whole side came off.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
