I haven't touched the RAM, and I tried fiddling with the PRAM battery as part of my initial attempts to get it to boot off a CD. Previously, I could hear the hard drive spinning, but that no longer appears to be the case with either the 6GB drive I bought, or the drive you sent me. Both span up fine in a Dell Latitude C600 I have. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
