Hi,
I have a pc running 98 (P200 MMX 64mb RAM, 20x CDRom, 3gb hd) that won't boot anymore or even POST. It started doing this after I replaced the hd and RAM. I wanted to replace the hd because my old one was going into scandisk immediately on bootup and failing on the thorough scan.

I have removed the new hd and ram and tried booting but still get nothing. No beeps, no nothing. There is power getting to the board though as the fan is going. Can you help me?

Your computer won't boot from the hard drive until you install an operating system on it. You need to go into Setup by holding down the correct key at boot up and set it to boot from cd-rom and put the installation disk in and save the setup changes. Then you can install an operating sysstem in the new drive. You may need to partition and format it and you might need an emergency boot disk for that.

Thanks for replying but I finally fxed my problem myself.

Reseated the cables, cards and ram and it finally would boot into the bios. Must have had a connection wrong or loose.

Thanks for replying anyways.
