- I don't know if this is the right group or not, but it is my last hope.
- I have a very sick PC, and I don't know what to do for it. Luckily all I
- use it for is comm pacages, modems and stuff, but still, I would like to get it
- back in tip top shape.
-
- Here's the problem, I have a disk drive that is, for some unknown reason, no
- longer recognized by my system. This is the C: drive, and the system is an
- old (1986) Leading Edge Model D (XT compatible). The hard drive doesn't seem
- to exist as far as the machine is concerned, it just sits there and spins on
- its own all day long.
-
- Any suggestions?
