i have a friend who was given a computer it is a AMD k6-2/500 fitted on a socket 7 mobo with AGP. I am unable to tell what mobo is fitted to it all the markings on the mobo are CE and FC. It has a Asus V3800 magic 16mg graphic card fitted and a creative sound card.
Unfortunately the harddrive is dead and I have to replace it and he has no CD's for the computer.
He want me to install a new 80gb harddrive and either Windows ME or windows 98 operating system. My questions are these:
1. How can I tell what mobo it has fitted if it is not marked.
2. What drivers do I need to install after I install the OS and where can I get the drivers from from.
3. Does it need a driver program like inf drivers installed to get the board functioning correctly with the components and where do i get them from.
I would appreciate any suggetsions to help me get this computer up and running from installing the new harddrive, formatting to installing ME or windows 98 and what I have to do after that in the way of drivers etc to get it running properly??
