Default unrecognised external HD

the HD of the machine is breoken, seemly because of an over-heat.(too much
dirt in the fan area). But today one of my friend gave me a P3, i think it
will work better. But for the moment he installed and gave me the CD of
windows LSD, and it's the first time I see that. But it seems to use less
memory on working, than XP.Do you know that ?

With that machine and that version of Windows...

All I can say is to try the Win98SE installer from the page I gave you. If
it installs, maybe you have a chance. Otherwise, I think you're SOL. And
even if that package does install, at those speeds I'd worry about the
integrity of the data. Sorry for the sad news.

The machine that's broken... What's broken? can it be repaired?

it's a 4.10.1998 version. The USB port goes thru a PCMCIA card...
So you think it's dead with the USB 2.0...
