A friend brought his emachine 333 to me to format the HD.  He said he had
deleted "a lot of files" because it was running very slow.  His O/S is
Win98.  I tried to boot the machine and it would not go beyond the emachine
bootup screen.  It would not boot from a floppy and I could not get the
bios to come up.  I tried the HD in another machine and, after reformatting
and reloading an os, it is fine.  I put the drive back into his machine
with the same problem.  I checked the memory by putting in a known good
stick with the same problem.  Does this mean the motherboard is toast?
