How many years ago?

What OS was on the machine orginally - has it always been Windows '98?

Have you ever taken the hard disk out for anything?
 
How old is this machine? If it's from perhaps 1999 it might only have a bios
with an 8 gb partition limit.

Got it some time in 2000

I'm pretty sure it showed 40 Gb in the past.
