I was looking for Louie's link, and it didn't come up. Considering the fact
that 99% of problems are physical, plus the fact that you just bought this
piece of hardware, I would look at replacement as an issue. I know that
it's a pain in the ass to do this, but the reality is you could knock
yourself out for two or three weeks trying to figure it out when it's simply
a hardware problem. Simple analogy: I was (at one time in my young life)
trying to learn about Windows NT. In order to load NT you have to create
three boot disks. I had many floppy disks laying around, so I used a couple
of them to create my boot disks. I ran into all these indescrimate problems
along the way - no matter which disks I used, NT never worked. Feeling
like a failure, I finally looked at the last hope: all new disks. Wouldn't
you know when I did this everything worked like a charm. Before beating
your brains out, make sure the hardware is good to go.
I defer to anyone with superior knowledge
