Yes! The only time you might reverse that is if your computer failed to boot up from the hard drive.

Hi Kel Would you sell me a copy of your manual Regards Michael

Sorry, but the specs for the PC noted just won't support today's media rich, robust internet, and not to mentions games. Any hardware upgrades will eventually lead to a new system.PC specshttp://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/etower-633id-celeron-633/4507-3118_7-3191361.html

Remove the power cord, remove the case. Look inside the computer where the hard drive sits in the by and make sure the power cable from the power supply is connected good and the Interface Cable that runs from the motherboard to the hard drive is connected good.

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS the scroll down to advanced bios features press enter change your first boot device to IDE-1 means Pri slave escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart you will have to have master with slave set up you can find the jumper location next to the power on a hard drive and the settings for plastic jumper location is usually printed on the top of a hard drive IDE-0 means Pri master IDE-1 means Pri slave IDE-2 means Sec master IDE-3 means Sec slave single or master ::::: master with slave ::':: slave :::': black line between dots is plastic jumper note the plastic jumper is ' located at the rear of the hard drive between the EIDE and electrical lead/s

Hope this helps you

You must either recover that file from a backup, copletely reinstall windows, or use the Windows Recovery disk that came with your computer to repair the partition.

It wont be free but it will be cheap. Call emachines and request an ew set of recovery discs.

Will it boot to safe mode? If so, run chkdsk and have it do a through scan and fix all errors. You can do this via a bootable rescue disk or the Windows CD if safe mode does not work either.

If running chkdsk doesn't work, you'll have to extract the missing files from the Windows CD using the Recovery Console. If that doesn't work, then it's time for a repair install using the Windows CD.

Yes, you can install up to 4 HD drives...

my advise would be to try the update device driver, from the control panel.
Strip machine and get teh make and model number from the MotherBoard - then google for the drivers.

http://www.driverguide.com/ is a good place to start for the drivers.

replace the file, with a new one
you can find it on the web

You should have a setting in your BIOS. Once you plug in and external AGP or PCI card the BIOS will recognize it and use that one instead of the onboard.

You have to format it, or to use the recovery cd that came with the pc when you bought it, load it and will bring your operating system as the day you bought it.

You may have a failed motherboard or power supply. Failure of motherboards (and power supplies) is usually due to breaking capacitors. A few years ago a capacitor company stole the "recipe" for making capacitors from another company and tried to make their own, unfortunately they did not get the ingredients right and the capacitors started breaking after 2-3 years of use. They sold these capacitors at very cheap prices and a lot of computer companies and power supply makers bought them. This is easy to diagnose. Look for capacitors (caps) (they look like little tiny soda cans) on your motherboard (mobo). They should be perfectly flat on top and not bulged or swelling or leaking anything. Also they should not have bursted out the bottom (it is hard to see). The dead giveaway is the fact that you are not getting anything after you changed the PSU. There are a few companies that will repair broken capacitor issues. Also if you add a bunch of extra components without upgrading the power supply you can suffer underpowered situations and that can cause internal parts to fail.
To eliminate some other stuff you could remove the memory and disconnect all the power plugs from the drives and then try to start it up. If it does not change the behavior at all (no beeps, no change in flashing lights) then you probably have motherboard issues. Make sure when disconnecting the memory chips (sticks) that you touch the metal on the inside of the case first to discharge static electricity. If it does change the behavior add 1 component or item back at a time to see what you can find out. Post back with what you find. I am currently working on an emachine with the same issue. It has about 6 bad caps, 5 top bulgers and one bottom bulger.

nothing found

If it is in original configuration system restore would be on D: drive partition

Check your cable connections.
