Hi, I am in desparate need of some help here. I am working on a networking project for school, and I am trying to get some computers up and running. I am working on a Gateway 2000 MMX P2 233 Mhz computer. I keep getting the error: Invalid System Disk. Sometimes the cd-rom would not open or respond also. I get this error with the cd-rom, floppy, and the hard drive.
First: I swapped out the cd-rom for a known working one, same error occurred except now I got neverending gibberish going down the page with a a whole bunch of beeps. When I would pause the screen, I was able to see Invalid System disk. Next, swapped out the IDE cable for a new one, same result.
Second, swapped out the hard drive for a working one. Same problem.
What is going on? Is this a power supply problem, a motherboard problem, help help help.....
