I had the same problem with starting windows. Once I wanted to do another effort, nothing happended, there was no power available. So I tried differnet things and it finally worked again, but the w2k-problem still existed. Once again, I gave up and as I spent my last hope, it started, but there comes nothing, no beep and no signal on the screen. I already replaced the graphic-card and the ram. If it really was the harddisk (same behaviour as described from Phalanx-Imawano) why the hell is there nothing on the screen?? Could it be, that the mainboard is failure or just that the graphic-card interface is corrupted? thx
