Have you tried putting the HD in another PC and booting it?
Check PC BIOS for boot options/swap drive cables etc - will the CDROM boot with the HD detached/unplugged? Have been through similar myself.PS has the BIOS been corrupted? I tried to flash a BIOS on an old PC recently and it failed and will no longer boot (obviously!)?
just some thoughts. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
