  • Computer unable to detect hard drive

  • Question: Hi, I'm running Windows 98SE and accidentally left a floppy disc in the drive when I shut down.Next time I switched on, I could not get beyond the first window (Intel Desktop Board),even after removing the floppy disc. I Tried the ESC. key to no avail, then tried switching it off. No luck, so I pulled the plug out.I now know that I should have pushed the on/off button for at least 5 seconds. Someone told me to try pushing the F keys to bring up the bios? window where I should be able to direct it to detect the hard drive. Tried that but still no response. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.Thanks, Chris

  • Electrical Problem?

  • Question: I accidentally kicked the plug for my PC tower out of the wall. Oops! The computer shut down, but when I tried to reboot it, it would simply 'turn on' and didn't appear to be actually booting the system, or doing anything but being 'on'. How bad is this? Could the information on the hard drive be recoverable?

  • original

  • Question: If someone sent me a large document by e-mail in wordpad... when I open it... I can't see the way the document was intended. For example, you can't see the page numbers. When I open it, on a computer, with Mircosoft Office 2007... I see the page numbers and the way the document was intended. What should I do to get it the way it was intended? How would I fix page numbers if necessary? I remember with Microsoft Office 2007.. the page numbers were outside the printable margins. If I moved them.. it would not be the way the document was intended. For example, the numbers are at the bottom edge of the paper/page.
