pulled the ol' computer apart to put on a new HSF, which required basically taking the entire thing apart (motherboard, HDDs, everything)
Well, the HSF went in just fine and now I have put the computer back together.
TWO problems.
First is minor - the fan on the HeatSink is not spinning...no problem, that's fixed by a $5 fix.
Second is the bigger one - I've put the computer back and now I'm getting BOOT DISK ERROR messages.
It was working great before the disassembly. Now it's BOOT DISK ERRORING on me. The hard drive is recognized, and I've made sure that the BIOS is trying to boot from it.
So...any suggestions? I have made absolutely NO changes to the computer since first last using it and now, except for taking it apart to put on the new HSF.
