1) with hard drive removed - can you get to the BIOS, and/or does the system look at, or perhaps boot from the floppy drive 2) If you can get to the BIOS does it look right - date and floppy, and POST at least 3) does the system beep ( quietly) at powerup 4) have you tried the hard drive as slave in another system
