I got a PC, 6 years old, P II, 233 MHz Linux is installed
When turned on it goes through what looks to me a boot up sequence. Then the screen display changes and it looks like the display is defective, can't read anything.
Do you get lots of script saying this or that is loaded and then nothing at the end?
I put into the CD drive a Win install CD but this made no difference.
Did it boot from the cd or from the hdd?
I would like,
1. find out what is installed (info like Apple System Profiler provides),
Lets hope for a little more info than that
2. install Win 2000
You shouldn't have too much trouble, check the bios to make sure the machine's boot order is something like A,CD,HD0 meaning it will try to boot from the floppy then cd then the hard drive. This is usually found under the advanced bios option.
To get to the bios, hold down the DEL key at startup, probably
The win2k cd should boot, from there you can use the tools on the cd to format the hardrive and install.
