[AT] OT - computer problem - thanks

[Mike Meulenberg]

Phil, you get the gold star, I unplugged the computer, popped the battery out of it, reset the hard drive cables, reinstalled the battery, and fired it up. Don't know why it did it, but I'm glad it's fixed. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Mike

I have had that problem with mine. Reseating the data cable to both 
the hard drive and the motherboard makes it work again.
Verify by going into BIOS when first turned on. If the hard drive 
does not show up, try reseating the cable.
