Clarify for me.
1. Your old hard drive was in, you tried formatting and reinstalling and it failed, did it actually fail in a windows install mode, or did it just not work at all.
2. Your other hard drive that was put in, did you just put it in, and turn on the pc, it will then loop because the system board drivers and such don't match.
3. Other info that I want...
a. hard drives rarely lock up and crash beyond recovery during a defrag so are we looking at a crash that will not let the PC boot at all, or does it boot up and give you a safe mode menu, or does it boot up to the XP Splash screen, and just hang up?
Be specific as possible with your answers, I'm going to be your expert in fixing this.

Hi,
Thanks for responding, I really do appreciate your time. I'll try to be a bit more detailed this time.
1. The original failed to boot at all - still have a black screen and a flashing cursor.
(I looked at the drive on an enclosure and it appears to be blank now, no OS no data).
2. Second drive - Yes, I did simply insert the second drive and turn on the PC, and yes it boots to the XP splash screen and then it just loops.
3. The original HDD will not allow the PC to boot at all, a black screen and a flashing cursor is all that I get.
** I did perform a MB test yesterday, removing the memory and starting up the machine. I received three long beeps, indicating a keyboard card, port or system board issue. Replacing the memory, I received no beeps. The keyboard connection is integrated onto the board so I am thinking replace the MB?
