Upgrading a Tower

[barbarag]

I have a 14GB H.D.(Generic IDE Disk Type 47);
Generic NEC Floppy Disk; 120.0MB Ram., AMD Athlon XP1600; Windows 98;
(No video Card); ADM TEK AN983 10/100mbps
Fast Ethernet Adapter (No Ethernet card)..

I've been told it would be hard to add to a Generic H.D. and make them compatible.
If I'm upgrading & adding more memory, a DVD-CD RW, a Video card, an Ethernet card (For future DSL), that I should just start over with a new tower???
Where do I began??

There's no such thing as a Generic hard drive, that just means the OS doesn't know what it is. You can add a hard drive, no problems.

If you want to REPLACE the drive, Maxtor has software called MaxBlast that does a perfect job of copying a Windows 98 partition and expanding it to fill a larger drive.
