no, no,, on the old one---
visited my sis over the weekend and noticed she was using windows 95
and a whopping 166MHZ cpu,(with a speedy 40mgs of ram!!)
so pulled the old one out of the closet and bingo---
"cannot find Bios on HDD"
no beeps
and it showed that ONCE.
now it wont even give a solid green light on the monitor.
Have reset the battery, tried to reset the CMOS, but that requires a shunt,, removed and replaced ram,
have connected the HDD(200GB Samsung) to ROME and it finds it no problems, can access all files.
anything else I should do to the HDD while its connected to ROME??

Do you have to set up the bios to recognise the HDD? If the bios battery is flat then it wouldn't remember the HDD bios settings, and older computers had to have that stuff entered manually.
Oh, and it probably won't recognise a 200Gb HDD.
Duh. I should have thought of that first.

Oops, thought you were talking about the very old one.
Didn't you have bios problems before you put it away?

R.I.P.
to reset the cmos without a shunt, just touch the pins with a flat blade screwdriver.
