Hi Barbara, Nice to see your name again. My tower when down last weekend. I have a new tower, but I am going to take the old hard drive and see if Bestbuy can savage what is in it. This is a much better tower, drive, speed and other extras. Doesn't have a floppy, so that will be the next to see if I can put one in. But the CD is a CD/R which is something I needed. It also had 80 G. I will never need more memory with this computer. Will have to reinput my data. But I will be able to save them to CD instead of trying to put them on Floppys. Take Care.
