Today at Lifetime Learning Center I spent some time helping David with a few things such as troubleshooting an issue with a motherboard and retrieving files from a HDD and then formatting it.
Today started pretty slow other than finally getting final touches finished on the laptop order. Which will be shipped to Lifetime Learning center late next week. I'm excited to get plenty of work done that during that day. I then was asked by David to retrieve some old Windows 98 files from an old HDD. It was really annoying at first on having to find the folder which contained them. Then David was able to move them off of the HDD onto another. I learned what exFAT is today which means Extended File Allocation Table. Me and David found that as a formatting option instead of wanting FAT32.
After me and Bryce worked on a troubleshooting issue with a motherboard from an old Windows 98 machine. It wasn't in good condition at all and brought up tons of errors saying that it could not boot or just not booting the OS. We then tried to boot it again and we bumped into; Verifying DMI Pool. Which was on the screen for probably a good hour. We then tried formatting the HDD on a different comp and it worked just fine then tried it on the Win 98 again and it didn't work. So we found out that there was no problem with the HDD. So we assumed after plenty of research that it might be the motherboard.
Overall I found today a lot better than the previous. I hope to continue troubleshooting issues with that computer tomorrow.
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
Sincerely,

Do you still have your UBCD? If so we could use it in order to partition the Hard Drive in Fat32 easily. Unless of course the Hard Drive doesn't allow it
