    I put a 500gb HD in it and I put Ubuntu on it. I don't know much about Linux.

    How do I find that? I reset the BIOS and it now shows the HD.

    Solved Need Operating System

    All connections are good. The DVD drive does show in the BIOS. I will try connecting the HD to the DVD cables and see what happens. I also tried connecting an external HD via USB and it did work. I hope resetting the BIOS works.

    Solved Need Operating System

    BIOS did not see the HD. This is now my next issue with this PC. I know it did the last time I was messing with it tho. This machine is driving me CrAzY !!! I will find some old HD's in my stash of parts and see if I can get them to work.

    Solved Need Operating System

    I got it... There was a second Ethernet port on this PC and it worked. I have Ubuntu on the flash drive and installed but the PC will only run Ubuntu with the flash drive. I can't get it to recognize the HD.

    Solved Look OK?

    Is it normal for the "Usable" Ram to change? On this PC I've seen it go from 8 usable to 12 usable out of the 16gb. Is it adjusted accordingly to demand?

    Is it really that old? It runs very fast.
