just switched the hd cable to secondary port, CDRom is now not connected. It was making a kind of clicking sound which just stopped.
On the screen it seems everything stopped.

already tried that in bios if bios not see hd windows can't load without hd as that is where it loads to. try get 20 40-60gig hd maxter, samsung, try not get western digital unless you have no choice. maxtor 40gig 7200rpm ata133 for $63Can. i don't know what the exchange rate between here & there is but gives you idea price wise. i'll be here to help you to hopefully finish
