SOURCE: need to add hard drive and memory to emachine tower 333

Okay, this is what you do, I don't really think that Win 98 supports dual HDDs, but I think I can help.

If you have a IDE Dual Cable (plug into the Motherboard and have two connectors attached), Do you see the mini plug by the connector on the HDDs? (Usually white or different color) on the Original HDD, put the miniplug to "Master" and the second (added) HDD to "Slave" or you may be able to use the "Select" on both.

What I do recommend though is going ahead and burning all of your precious data to CDs and buying a newer HDD.

Instead of 4 Gigs, get something around 80 Gigs.

If you give me the motherboard specifications, you may be able to update your RAM to 128-256 MB

How to take pictures off dead emachine

The hard drive must still be working to get the pictures off. The best thing to do is remove the hard drive from the machine and use either an external USB type case to mount the drive into so you can use another computer to explore the drive or there is a tool that just plugs on to the drive with a USB cable and power supply built in that will serve the same purpose. You must get the appropriate type to match the drive type which could be either IDE or SATA. SATA drives use the small cable and IDE use the wide ribbon. If the hard drive is not working, you would have to get specialized and expensive company to retrieve the data from the drive.

Forgive me if my first (educated) guess may be off, but the 4-pin connector for which your can't find a connection may go to your
system disk hard drive - all Emachine towers have a HDD (hard disk drive) bootable system disk - and it needs power to allow your T1100 to boot.
The system disk (your only bootable hard drive) is hidden (a little) in a metal enclosure in the front of the tower. The T1100 has a 20GB HDD, and in the "My Computer" display, it appear as "Drive C:", and is powered by a standard 4-pin power connector.

Only a hard drive can contain the data. Other storage mediums are CD, USB flash drive and cards. If your system has any of these, you will easily spot and remove them.

Turning to the hard drive, a computer can have more than one installed so be sure to remove each one before giving it to the other person. No hard drive means NO information stored so be assured.

Hard drive on an eMachine computer desktop has crashed. Computer won't boot. Is there anyway to get files off the crashed hard drive?

take the hard drive to a local computer guru... recovery will depend on what caused the crash, and what has happened since then. Basically, he or she will need to try to boot your hard drive with another tower, or pull all the info directly from the disks themselves. If you had to ask this question, you're gonna need help to fix it.... Sorry.

Hard Drive

You can replace it with a larger one, just make sure you buy the proper hard drive. If its and IDE hard drive, buy and IDE hard drive, if its an SATA Hard drive, buy an SATA Hard drive. also make sure after you install the new hard drive that you use the operating system cd to format the drive and to install the operating system.

PC bought at auction won't switch on ?? Anything is possible, from 'It's really an empty tower with a brick in it for weight' .. to any number of usual suspects.. The fact that most PC computer 's make a beep and light up stuff when switched on for instance relies on the presence of a working PSU.
Your diagnostic approach would begin there.
