ok well i bought a computer tower for $10 at a garage sale.
i also got a computer from a friend(TylerG) and im trying to build a really good computer out of one of them by ravaging the parts out of another.

anyways the garage alse comp came with 2 hard drives i tested them on my regular computer and only one works... and ya well my other comp (the quantex) had a hard drive but the owner took it out b/c there was check info in it or somthing and he didnt feel like deleting all of it so i tried to use one of the extra hard drives but when it gets to the Verifying VMI pool data part in booting th computer it just freezes onto that...but the first time i started the computer i got passes that and got to starting windows with a bar going across the screen but still with a DOS look to it (right b4 it would of said loading windows 95 or 98)  but then when the bar finishes the computer just restarted and now is stuck on verifying vmi pool data.  i have a windows 95 upgrade CD and windows xp home upgrade cd and a Windows 98 CD for pc's w/o windows so if there is some way i can boot with those to just intall one tell me and tell me a way i can use this computer.

i am also eventually going to upgrade it to xp.
