    Hi, I got a new hard drive cos my old one collapsed on its last legs lol. So I got it today, put it in, started it, it asked for a boot cd, I put in my windows xp install disk and off it went.. unfortunately ran out of time before i cud complete and went to quit on the third screen. Now I got home and i turn it on and it does nothing but come up with a blank screen and a flashing underscore, put in my install disk, does nothing, wont even let me type anything or do anything! PLEASE HELP QUICK!

    I can't even get BIOS up.. immediately after power up it just comes up black as described above and if I press keys on my keyboard it makes a very very quiet blip sound but does nothing.. HELP! :confused:

    Might sound stupid, but you might want to check the connections and make sure the HDD is still prpoerly connected.
