Dell Inspiron 6000 no HDD boot

by amhines . Updated 13 years, 1 month ago

Model PP12L, only 1Gb memory. XP Pro.
Boots from CD, passes internal Dell diagnostic suite.
Same HDDs boot other machines (tried a service pack 1 & 3).
Believe BIOS settings are correct (CD first HDD 2nd). Tried reversing that order. HDD LED flashes a couple of times immediately after BIOS or splash screen (whether booting from CD or HDD), then nothing. Just empty cursor.
Ideas?? – Clueless.
