My high-school daughter's older PC suddenly can't boot with the
error message "there is no boot drive present." I booted from
CD-ROM using an old Windows ME disk (the computer had Windows NT on
it before it wouldn't boot) and found that drive C is not
present. A second physical hard drive, D, is present.
What has likely happened? Failed disk? Failed disk controller?
The computer is a Dell XPS 1 Gz. Pentium III with 256K rdram. It
can't be upgraded to Windows XP according to Dell. My daughter uses
it for games and internet access. What is the best course of
action? Buy a cheapie PC or buy a new disk drive?
