Thanks, shawnz! Yeah, I did get nLite, it's such a nifty little thing.

But  your computer came with NOTHING? What does that mean? No programs/drivers installed or no operating system or ANYTHING installed...

Actually I came across a little guide that indicated where to find the drivers that are extracted when you run the exe. I found them and nLite also showed it was the right thing. And yeah, simple process the floppy thing may be, but I think I don't have any blank floppies left. >.<

And indeed, that PC came with no software installed, only a drivers disk came with it (and of course, no SATA drivers or anything like that on it). I chose it that way because with software it would have been a lot more expensive. (Though now I'm not sure if that was the right thing to do, since I never guessed I'd have problems with not recognizing the HDD. :p)

Anyway, I'll try the CD created by nLite today and post back after. *prays it will work*

Edit: it did work! :D
