My computer was working fine, now when you start it up it
goes through the boot process then when it goes to load
windows the screen goes black and the drive light is off.
I have norton system works I booted from that cd to run a
full system scan but it does not recognize or scan any
files. In the bios it isn't recognizing any hard drive-
however I tried installing a nother drive and it loaded
windows.any ideas could it be a bad hard drive?
unfotunately I do not have a boot disk and have never
booted from one before.
