    Problem here. I put a HD from another comp in my dell and now I have no visual

    Okay, I took a HD out for my old win 98 computer that is dead. I was going to put basic linux on it, but the floppy didn't boot, so win 98 started. Which I didn't think was possible. So I thought I'd test it out, see if it would actually work. It said drivers needed to be installed so I let it do it.

    Now when I put a linux disk in, I see it in the beginning, but when the desktop starts, it goes black and stays that way.

    Exactly what did I do? o.o
    And I tried changing monitors; that's not the problem.

    Thanks.

    By the way, XP works when the HD was replaced.. but it took forever to load from black screen.
