Is the bios running? No beep codes? Video displaying the typical memory scan etc? Is the memory amount normal? Can you enter the bios and check if the system sees the hard disk? John W.

One of my colleagues has just knocked over a tower system that was sitting nicely on the floor onto someone else's foot... aside from the obvious Health and Safety issues (and the beating he's going to get from me), I can't make the pc boot into windows (2K)... I've tried the emergency repair console, and booting into safe and normal modes with no success... I'm going to try putting it in another box as a slave to see if I can scandisk and replace the driver that it says it can't load... if they fail, what are my options? Reinstall?
