Hope you want a challenge? This is it. It is actually a 68 pin drive with a converter to 50 pin. It is not new, but everything else works. I can install a program and run it on the drive. I did drag over 8.0 and boot off of it.
I thought it might be the disk but I have cleaned it and I have tried running other install programs from other OS (8.0, 9.1). They will not run either. I have done the equivalent of the cuda switch. This computer does not have one. I even had a different drive that I was able to connect to the computer and I thought I could install it onto that one and then drag it over to the installed one. No go. Nova. Nada. Connections on everything are good and tight. The computer does not show other signs of a problem. The fact that I can run programs on it says that the computer is working.
