[QUOTE="allenebens, post: 20341"] Have you tried booting off a CD? Restart holding the C key down with a bootable CD in the drive. This will allow you to at least determine if you have a hardware or software problem. If you can boot off the CD, try running a system utility like Norton. If this can't find/fix the problem I would do a clean install of the system software, which means you lose all your preferences and aftermarket exentions will have to be reinstalled. If you can't boot off an external disc I guess you have a hardware problem and it's off to the shop if you think that makes any economic sense. [/QUOTE]
