WILLIAM KNIGHT: When I run into this type of no boot I disconnect all ribbons except the HDD and boot it up. 'The I connect the drive ribbon to the fdd and boot it up. Next I connect the ribbon to the CD-ROM and then boot it up. Course it you have other drives do the same with them, also. One at a time. I find that by the time you get each drive reconnected with all conections solid it should boot. It only takes a litte time to give it a try. Hope it solved your problem.
