So I just barely got my new harddrive for the PC I've been working on for awhile now. It SHOULD be able to run a decent, stable OS. Yeah hah hah. Much to my dismay, I found out that SuSE Linux 9.2 doesn't support SATA harddrives. MORE to my dismay, the cheapest version of Windows on Newegg is around 89$(USD). Plus with that theres no knowing if it even has SATA support anyhow. I say this mainly because at the computer store I work at, I have to use a special SATA disc(Written in sharpie on the disc label of course) to install windows on machines using RAID and/or SATA. The only alternative I can think of right now is to buy a Clean Windows Install FROM the store I work at. Its 85$ and its the professional version of XP. Well thats great and all but my computer fund is lacking right now. Personally, I don't want to spend any more money at the moment.
I have a CDR/CDRW and a couple of CDRW Discs right now.
Suggestions?(Besides ones that require money)
