    Thanks for the responses, but I have tried everything you have suggested, with the exception of disconnecting the hard drive. The machine won't even go to the floppy for a start up diskette. I am wondering if the floppy is the problem since it just sits there with the light on but it doesn't...

    black screen after windows xp logo
