A friend brought over a small pc NEC valuestar that it could not not
find the operating system win ME. I booted it and it reported missing
operating system. I then re-booted with win98 boot disk and in the
process the machine could not find any drive including the cd-rom. The
cd-rom and the hard drive are connectedd to the mainbord IDE. Im told
the pc hard earlier a power supply problem and it was fixed. Could it be
the IDE controller is gone? The pc has no pci expansion slots.
