Ode to joy, I got to attempt to install windows 98 onto a PC that my next door neighbor salvaged from a dump (he works in the waste management industry – no he is not a trash man). Having spent about 40 minutes copying the content of the windows 98 cd onto the hard drive and starting the installation process – we wnet for some food, then came back to the installation process to find that some of the hard disk was corrupt. Either the drive had been damaged in the discard process or it was damaged in the first place. It’s been left scandisking with the surface scan for the remainder of the night. Another installation attempt tomorrow, I have an old hard drive which can be used for the installation if needs be. I mean it’s an ATA33 machine!
Scary old hardware you are evil!
If it wasn't for carbon-14, I wouldn't date at all
