Been trying to fix this computer up to give kids next door. Now run fdisk-formatted and put win95 on it. Running in compatibity mode. In control panel/systems have the yellow ! Mark next to standard IED/ESDL hard drive controler. This is listed twice. No ! by standard dual pci ide hard drive controler. Try to reinstall drivers but hard drive not listed. So did goggle search for UM8886BF,# on motherboard. Click on link it takes me to driver guide.com. See diver I need for above download it and then extract to floppy. (Is that the way to do It?) Now try to reinstall but It tells me drivers It needs is not on floppy. What did I do wrong or just what should I do? Thank you all.
