I took the drive out and was able to get the boot from disk message, so it looks like its time for a new drive. At least it's nothing too serious. Thanks for all the help.

I've been thinking about this today, and want to be a little more confident in the actual problem before I go out and buy a cheap hard drive. Shouldn't the computer still be able to boot from the windows cd even with a bad hard drive? I...

The hard drive does make a few clicks when the computer starts up, but that's it. I've always had it set to boot from cd first, and I've checked and changed those settings around a few times now, with nothing working. I'll try to get...

The hard drive shows up in the BIOS and everything. The thing is, it won't even get to the 'press any key to boot from cd,' or whatever the exact message is, when I use the installation/recovery cd. There doesn't seem to be anything I...

After I posted the first message, my computer wouldn't even boot into safe mode. I figured it had to be either windows and my drivers or a hardware (memory or vid. card) problem. I didn't have my recovery disk with me then, so I checked...

My computer (5680) was working fine a couple hours ago but now it will not start in regular windows mode. I turned it off to give it a break and let it cool down and nothing has happened to it since then. I get a blue screen as...
