Comment on Help with Gateway Solo 2550
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoSure, I may do that , the drive is a bit noisy but doesn’t sound like its failing. Its easy to get to. At least.
This pc originally came with win 98. Luckily all the drivers are avilable on the archive.
I worried about that with the pcm card needing drivers but decided to gamble for 20 dollars.
I cannot see any bios option for usb. Its just odd they seem to not have any power output either.

Nice, then the driver wouldn’t be an issue.
btw I just remembered using the format tool in WinXP (My Computer -> right click drive -> format) to create a bootable MS-DOS (think it was the winme one - so ms-dos 8?) floppy/usb. Not sure if it’s on 2K too, would be worth checking. If it also works on an internal drive maybe you could partition the drive and install DOS on the second drive without any external media.
