Well folks, it was the hard drive after all. The tech checked the power supply... it was fine.
Replaced hard drive with another hard drive and he said everything worked fine. He gave the analogy of "rotors and cylinders" in a car... he said the hardware of the hard drive crashed also that no information on the hard drive was retrievable as the hardware was fried [except maybe for $750 for an expert to examine and work with the damaged unit] . So the repair and replaced hard drive is covered under the extended warranty and "most" of my stuff I have saved on zips and floppies anyway. Thanks for the support and brain stormin'. It was appreciated. Gail -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
