    New Hard Drive and DVD-ROM Doesn't work

    Nope. I believe that I have an old Floppy (in storage) that is DOS Bootable. The laptop has a IEEE-1394 and mini-PCI slots but the BIOS does not look at the 2 USB ports. :(

    New Hard Drive and DVD-ROM Doesn't work

    I have a dilemma. A friend had his HD Die (Yes the infamous IBM TravelStar - go figure). So I ordered a replacement...fine... BUT his DVD-ROM does not seem to work either, so I have no way to load the operating system (XP). I've been thinking of tricks, but nothing seems feasible at this point...
