<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>power supply and motherboard have decided to become
deceased,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(1700 xp athlon)</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>and
am trying to get a second hand motherboard with </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the same chipset.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Had intended to write everything to CD yesterday in
preparation for installing breezy when it arrived, but why do today what can be
done tomorrow :-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Am running my old 166 pent with 64 edo ram, so have
to use win 98,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my question is , if I can't get a second hand board
with the same chipset,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is it possible to rescue the data on my drive,
can't put it in this machine,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(40 gig drive) as it will only recognise 8 gig. I
do have an old 2.2 gig drive</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I could put into the rebuilt machine, and install
Ubuntu on it, would it be possible to put the 40 gig drive in as slave and
retrieve data that way?, still have a lot to learn.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance for any help.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Take Care</FONT></DIV>
