Hiya I have a problem with my secondary pc. It wont go past the Intel page when I boot it up.

I've had it for 5 years now and is an Advent T9001 with Pentium 4 processor, 1 GB RAM, 120GB main hard drive and 320 GB secondary HD for storage of pictures and music and such. I also fired in a better graphics card about 6 months ago but it hasn't given me any problems so I dont think its related to this installation.

After reading a thread about someone with spookily enough the same model of pc and virtually the same problem I tried disconnecting the OS hard drive and the pc then booted past the Intel screen and gave me a disk failure message.

Is this a sign that my OS HD is buggered?

I believe the second HD is ok, well I hope it is as I have all the pics of my son growing up on it!

Thanks, Chris.

Please get you pix off that drive. Burn them to CDs.
It sounds like the HDD is kaput. They do that. I had one go a couple of weeks ago.
