Putting an old pc together

Tarron_D · 24th July 2003, 00:15

Hello again. Im in the process of putting an old computer back together for my brother, but im having a bit of a problem. I have everything hooked up right i think, but im getting an error during startup. Its simple and to the point: No Rom Basic, System Halted. Im not sure what this means. I have the cd rom plugged into the secondary ide spot, and the floppy in the floppy spot. Im a little curious as to where the Hard Drive goes. I put it in the Primary connection spot, but im not sure if this is right. I really don't see anywhere else it could go. I have the ram in there, and the video and soundcards too. So i guess i need a little help.
