--- Sorry..it's an IBM not dell... ---

ok..well..my mom's friend got me to format her gay IBM, so i did like anyone would for any WindowsXP comp...i then installed WindowsXP Pro on it(cuz Home sucks) and like...i was getting blue screens with weird ass errors..same everytime i reboot...now...it doesn't even detected the HDD.

How can i get the HDD detected?

The IDE cable setup is:

IDE1 - HDD ONLY...it's a only port ide cable...will only connect to HDD and mobo..nothing else.

IDE2 - Connected to one CD-rw that doesn't work and can also have another CD-rom or HDD added to the cable.

System Specs:

mobo - some intel mobo..can't find out cuz comp wont boot up..if there's a way w/o booting up comp..tell me i'll look for the thing.
cpu - intel celeron 950Mhz with a 100Mhz FSB
ram - PC100 128MB

I can't get to it...the PSU is in the way.

Isn't overheating reboot when it get's to hot? or do Pentium's slow down ALOT when they get to hot? cuz before i formatted..her computer was slwoer than my 400Mhz. is that normal?
