I purchased a Wallstreet on eBay for my niece - only to discover that the hard drive is not working.
The screen shows a floppy icon with a question mark. When I stick an OS 8.5 CD in the CD drive, the OS starts up off the CD. Unfortunately, I see no hard drive. When using the HD Setup utility, I see no hard drive there, either. So I gather (as does the seller) that the hard drive was damaged in shipping (though the FedEx box was in great shape). Any other thoughts? Going forward, I have to correct this, and soon. How easy/difficult is it to change a hard drive on a 266MHz Wallstreet? If at all possible I'd like to do this myself, rather than spend money on a technician.
