 I attempted to install a different media burner tonight.  Now my machine won't boot. I went in to replace my CD burner with a DVD burner.  First, I uninstalled the software for the CD burner.  Then I removed the drive from device manager.  Then I removed references to the just-uninstalled software from the registry and shut down the machine.After putting in the new (used actually) drive, the machine does not POST.  The power comes on.  Fans spin.  There's a little bit of activity from the HDD and then it stops.  Nothing appears on the monitor.Tried a different video card, no change.Tried a different monitor, no change.BIOS battery tested at 2.98 volts.I didn't touch either the memory or the CPU.It's a steel case.  I don't think I could get into it w/o grounding myself even if I tried. What do you suppose I've done to it? Thanks -Barry.
