well the last of the components are here and installed. due to some issues between the hard drive and the operating system (Microsoft XP) i need to make a specific driver (which came on the disk that came with the motherboard) to be able to install XP on my hard drive. this would be an easy fix if: a) i had purchased a floppy drive along with the other components (but i didn't because this senario is likey the ONLY time i'll need a floppy drive.) and b) Jess's computer had a DVD drive (which she doesn't, her's is only a CD drive. and the disk that came with the motherboard happens to be a DVD)
so... what i have to do is: install my new DVD drive in Jess's computer so i can run the DVD with the driver on it to make the driver on a floppy disk. then, put jess's CD drive back and mine back, then steal Jess's floppy drive and temporarily put it in my computer so that whn i install XP i can feed it the driver and make things run smoothly. simple, right? (i hope so)
we'll find out tomorrow after i run out and get a floppy disk...
