It sounds like both drives are trying to be the master on the cable. Have you tried setting both drives jumpers to the CABLE SELECT setting. This allows the BIOS to individually identify them and you specify in the BIOS which is the primary boot drive.
Open the side panel, unplug components and usually just unscrew the drive. I would look on e-machines website for their specific instructions on it to be on the safe side but it should be pretty simple. Acer Back soon
Are you sure you're back to factory settings? That 25 character number sounds like the Certificate of Authentication (COA) key for the Operating System. Look on the side and back of your computer for the COA Sticker. It tells you what Operating System you have and it will have a series of 5 letters and numbers (25 to be exact) that is the key to validate and activate your operating system.
The small form-factor and small desktop systems support a single enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) hard drive in the hard drive bay; the small mini-tower system supports two EIDE hard drives. Yes!

You will probably just need a phillips screwdriver to get the job done. Maybe a pair of small pliers depending on how tight the cables are connected. The amount of finesse you use is dependent upon if you want to reuse the drive or computer.
Yes. Most new computers today don't come with a floppy drive as they are pretty much obsolete. If you need a floppy drive because you have a bunch of floppies around with important stuff on them, you can purchase an external usb floppy drive for around $20 or so.
Hi Shannon,
yes, you could - and should - connect the external harddrive directly to your pc in case it throws errors. You will need to do this in any case to figure out, what is wrong with the drive.
Connect the USB cable to your PC and check whether the drive is recognized by your Operating System. If it fails to be detected get back to us and we will try to help you.
