So i'm trying to get an old computer to work...it's a 446 mhz processor or something...it's old and it's a gateway...i connected the wires for the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
When i turn it on it boots up and i can see the gateway sign and everying...and it looks like everything is running normal..but then it says
"missing operating system" I don't know what this means so i tried puting in windows 98...but it wasn't the actual win 98 cd.. it was this gateway backup cd ...when i put in the cd and restart the comp. it detects it and i'm able to choose the boot device and begin installation... then there is a screen that says...."please wait while the check some configurations" but i waited for a while and nothing happens...it like just freezes or something...dont' know what the problem is....someone please respond....need help fast
i know i didn't give specific info on the computer ...but if you need it i'll try to find out and reply back...but please reply
