Have you tried, disconnecting everything on your SCSI Chain? IMHO, something went south in the week it was left on unattended. Before that week, How long have you run the machine in that configuration AS IN, "What did you change last" A cursor with no hard disk icon would seem to me it's not recognizing your boot-up hard disk :<( BTW, which hard disk was controlling the machine when it quit?
You mentioned you opened it up. Did you take a stethoscope to see if the internal hard drives were spinning. Don't laugh about the stethoscope. I've a slight hearing loss. I even use one to check the tappets on my M/C's. I've no experience with two internal SCSI and ATA hard drives ... Are they Fighting each other? ;<) RHB ***************************** Greg Haglind wrote: > > Hey All, > > For the past few days now I haven't been able to > startup my PowerTowerPro 200 and its really confusing > me.
