I try not to bother you guys unless I'm really at my wits end. That's where I am now.
Back in the hardware section, I detailed the problems I had with my son's computer. I finally took it in to my friend who repairs them. mb problems and video card problems as it turned out. He got the system to post, and then he gave it back to me.
For the life of me, I can't get the system to boot up. I've reset the connections to the HD and CD drive. I've set the boot setup for each in turn in the SETUP, using an XP boot disk in the CD drive. I've even connected the system to a HD I know boots up.
Nothing.
The system does recognize the HD in the posting process, but I'm out of ideas. Do any of you have some?
