The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Greetings Experts.

I am very sorry for the limited points. I do not have a credit card, therefore i can't order any more points. Where can i order some, without the credit card?

The points (35 :() will be awared to the best answer, and be split if hard decsion, in later times i will write down your name, ask another question and grand you the true points this deserves. the question after i get points. Your nicks will be saved and more points will be givin if i have chose you. this question is worth 500 points. Again, i will not be able to get the points at this time, and i will find a way to add them to your score.

LAPTOP INFORMATION : Dell Laditude Pent. II 400 MHZ

OS(OPERATING SYSTEM) : Windows 98 (not installed)

AVAILABLE DRIVES : cd-rom, floppy, docking, ethernet, networking (currently down)

HARD DRIVE : 2.4 GB (just installed)

::THE PROBLEM::

I have recently bought new hard drive with in my budget,  2.4 GB for $45.00,

My windows 98 installion CD is not working, (CD broke in peaces in side cd rom drive)  I have an installion floppy disk (A:/) I have to load my Dell Resourse CD for my WIndows XP that was bought in April 2004 to load MS DOS. by doing so this messes up my Laptop, because i type c:/ dir and comes up the same as the A:/ dir as well as the B:/  Dir E:/ and sometimes A:/ is the CD ROM. i tried to upload this floppy has not worked. the system knows that its windows 98 because of the fact when i load any disk it says "Loading Windows 98 drivers"  <--from my resourse CD.

READ CAREFULLY!!

THINGS THAT I HAVE TRIED!!

1. typed the following FDISK on A:/ and C:/ and B:/  and hit enter.
RESULTS:"No fixable files found"
A:/

2. Loading Windows 98 CD
RESULTS: shattered

I am getting very annoyed at this system. I can not throw it away, because it is not mine, i am fixing it for a friend. It wouldnt even turn on when i first got it running. the Power supply was disconnected. that failure was caused by being dropped. I have replaced with a new hard drive, as the other one was opened by some one else. (dents and Sratches on cover, finger prints on hard drive itself)

If you can assist me on geting this PC running, OR finding people that can with NO COST i would greatly appreate it. Again, points will be added to your nick in later date. after i am able to recive more points.  I PROMISE YOU! and if i don't within the first month, get a hold of me. I'll be here helping ppl.

Total Point Value: 500
Points avaliable:   35
points awarded(on later date): 465

Thanks.
