My brother is a computer science major in college and a friend of his just got a new computer (PC) a few days ago and decided to get it up and running. He pulled some parts from his old computer; HD, RAM, and video card. Well when he got everything into his new case and plugged into the new motherboard he decided to reformat his HD and install Win 95. However, after he reformatted his HD his computer wouldn't recognize it. He took it to several friends and tried to get their computers to recognize it, but was not successful. Then my brother told him to bring it over to our house. We hooked it up to our Mac, which of course recognized it as a PC HD, and then we copied Win 95 from the CD that came with Virtual PC onto his HD and gave it back to him. He took it home and it booted up on the first try! I guess Macs are good for fixing PC's as well. Needless to say, we haven't heard any anti Mac statements from him since then. |
