i know its an old pc, but i just found it laying around the house, and kept it due to the memories ive had with it
also, here are its insides
You need an upgrade, pajeet.
That processor is from 2003. Your hardware is literally worth $5. Replace the entire thing

I'll be your primary slave OP
My only guess is that the HD is broken, but good luck finding an IDE drive.
this guy posted this on /b/ earlier...
apparently, he's trying to keep the files on the drive because he's too retarded to understand how legacy hardware works.
OP, read the goddamn sticky.

>trying to keep the files on the drive
What?
>>53557691
I mean, he doesn't want to lose them. He's trying to access them on the drive, and he can't boot into his OS.
Check cables on drives, check motherboard battery and bios settings .ide 133 pci raid card for mirror is good to avoid loosing files ,boot a gparted disk/usb see if you can mount and backup add a sata 3.0 card ssd the beast
Holy moly it's real. It's totally fucking real!

Throw the hardware in the dumpster, then kill yourself. Faggot.

You have to go back to /b/, my wayward child.

It's not booting, so it might be a hard drive problem

Check your time settings. If it's set to the manufacturer date, your CMOS battery is drained and need to be replaced by a new one.

Try booting with out the cd drive.
i've seen one ide connector on the mobo fail on two different pc in my time. swap the cable from the cdrom to the hard disk.
