I would also add that you may want to re-seat any PCI cards and check the
cable connections.

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?

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?
