Is this the only hard drive you have in her machine? If not, how many?
If you have more than one IDE device (hard drive, cdrom drive) attached to the same
IDE slot, make sure the jumper settings are set such that one device is master and the
other is slave.
Make sure the ribbons cables attaching the drives to the MB are firmly connected.
The BIOS settings for a hard drive are different for Linux and
Windows 95/98. The BIOS mode for a windows drive should be set to LBA, while the mode
for a Linux drive should be set to normal. When you boot the machine up, make it go
into setup (usually by pressing the delete key).
Hopefully this helps. Good luck
