Likely a hardware problem; soliciting ideas on what to kick before
recycling...
Have three of these HP XW8000 workstations and have had them for some
time. Dual Xeon, 3GB memory, damn adequate NVidia graphics, weigh a
ton. Two of them reloaded to Ubuntu Lucid 10.4 with no drama.
Do have
Maybe a bad SATA cable, bad power SATA power connector, or bad SATA settings
in the BIOS (set to AHCI, when it should be legacy IDE or vice versa)?

Thanks for the thoughts. No SATA in this beast. These bad boys have
the Windows 2000

Never mind - (bless you, Ruth Buzzy)!
Check the ~...@#$%^* Boot Order in the BIOS
Sigh

Ah, yes, the age-old cry. Don't do what I told you to do, do what I meant to
tell you to do!. Computers are still idiot-savants.
