Hello everyone. I'm looking for someone who has run up with this problem before and what they did to fix it. My uncle gave me a EMachines t5082 desktop computer with a hardrive he kept because it had a unremovable (?) virus on it and he destroyed the HD because it had sensitive info on it. No problem I have plenty of HD around both SATA & PATA , this machine used IDE so I hooked up a 250GB HDD to replace the 60GB that originally came with the computer. I have the orig, Vista Home OS disc but when I try to load the OS it goes trough the motions but when it comes down to configuring the computer I get a blue screen saying " to prevent damage to your computer windows cannot be loaded due to a hardware change or fault. I called Emachines but they want 100.00 usd to help. Whats the problem here. Aparantly it can be done if emachines can do it so can I. However I need a person who is used to this kind of thing with emachines computer. The computer is not worth spending $100.00 just to load an OS. Is there anyone out there who can offer any assistance, any help would be greatly appreciated . I want to give this computer to my little brother for high school if I can get it up and running. Again thank you ever so much for any information, Audie Milligan A
