Putting Old Gateway Hard Drive into a Different HP Computer - PCI Drivers
A friend got a new computer and needed to retrieve data off her old hard drive. Because the old computer was damaged, I offered to put her hard drive (from an 8 year old Gateway) into a Hewlett Packard Brio BA200, also of the same vintage and also using Win98SE. I powered it up, but it wants a PCI-compatible graphics driver and all the PCI bridge drivers. I looked on the HP website and could only find a graphics driver. The HP has an Intel 810 chipset. I looked on the Intel website, but didn't see what I needed there either. What to do? Thanks!

... the "geeks" link doesn't have a picture of what you're getting => but this is what the adapters usually look like (you may just want to buy this one, since you know what it looks like; and there are several very complimentary reviews -- some of these adapters work better than others, so it's nice to know that folks who have purchased this one are satisfied with it): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812156101

Callandor, I never thought of that and it worked perfectly. Thanks!
I couldn't do much with the HP set up with the Gateway HD as I couldn't even get to the desktop. It started up on safe mode automatically and then did "hardware found" asking for drivers. When I couldn't give it the VGA, it just shut down each time. No way to run exe or zip's or anything. No device manager, no nada.
I meant to split points here, but I blew it, so sorry. Why can't you click for accept multiple times. Sheesh. Callandor gets an A for quickness and his solution did work perfectly.
