Hi,  The people who sold me the computer did not plug
in the hard drive electrical part.  The wires were all
bundled together with two connectins hanging.  I
plugged the longer wire into the hard drive and was
able to boot. I feel kind of dumb about that. I have
it running now but the images are fuzzy. It looks like
it does when you do a safe boot. I can't seem to
correct it.
