Yes, it would appear that I used the incorrect terminology or point of
reference. But anyway I have practiced your suggestions that responded to my
problem. Having done that I found that my MB is capable of handling the new
drive. And, yes, I can boot-up without incident.
Now, I believe, I have inadvertently created a dual boot environment. First
off the old drive is no longer available. So can't go there. My questions now
are; Is there a way to verify this type of environment? And, if verified, is
there a way to correct it?. I mean short of re-formatting the new drive and
re-installing my OS. And all of my programs! You all know what a time
infringement that will turn out to be. Regardless. I will do whatever it is
that needs doing. All my personal files are on CD.
Or should I tell my son that I can no longer use the birthday present he got
me this year?
I do apologize for not knowing proper terminologies. Both, in articulation,
as well as acronymic. I was told that computers make life easier! They left
out some vital information in my opinion!
I'll try to learn more of the stuff. I'm new. Like - way Green! Er' what-ever.
Thanx for all the advice and direction. I have learned more and I fixed
other elements of my PC in the process. So it has not been without its perks.
