Dead Hard Drive?


i boot, the company logo you know loads then i have linux so it boots from floppy, i hit enter to boot and it loads files from the disc then when it goes to the hdd to get information it just stops

if i put in a windows 98cd it loads up to where it says "Boot from hard drive" "boot from cd" boot from cd it just changes to a black screen

boot from harddrive does the same

did my hdd die?

Can your BIOS detect the hard drive (i.e. does it list it at boot up after POST?)
