nothing worked that was mentioned...could my harddrive that is running the OS be bad? But the thing is, it won't even boot from the CDrom. Shouldn't it be able to boot from the cdrom with the windows disk? I dk if I said this before but the boot order was messed up, first priority was floppy, so im pretty sure the battery died on the mobo.

then change the boot order back to having CD rom, then HDD.

Thats what I'm saying, it won't boot from CDrom. I have changed the boot order for every combination.

Odd... Should be able to boot from cdrom if bios is posting and your ram is working....

What happens when you actually go to boot from the CD? Black screen thing again? Make sure the disk is actually bootable, also, try USB stick boot.

yup, black screen with blinking cursor. And I have booted from this disk before to reformat my pc. I'll try USB stick boot, last time I tried that I couldn't get it to work correctly tho, I used cdrom instead.

take the hard drive out, connect it to another computer, and check if you can either boot/access it
