Well...I saw that my original "A Word of Wisdom from DavidP" from a few months ago had suddenly been bumped up to the top by somebody, and it reminded me about the problem which has just been worsening ever since. Lets see if anybody can help me out with the new dilema:
If you dont have background in the problem, read the original "A Word of Wisdom from DavidP" thread.
I was working in BIOS one day...and I noticed that the Secondary IDE controller was not enabled, so I thought that that might be the problem with my CDROM drive not working.
So I enabled it, but it would be automatically set back to disabled every time I boot up computer.
Well, after several struggles and trying several different methods, I decided to switch the Primary and Secondary IDE controllers one time to see if anything would happen...of course I knew it would probably not work....but I figured I would just switch them back after I did it...
So I did that...and of course...it didnt work...
So I switched them back...but to my dismay...now the computer wont even boot up...
It brings a message up to confirm that I wanted the Primary controller to be set to the hard drive I had put it on...but then the keyboard locked and I could not confirm anything or continue boot up...
every time i boot up it sits in that screen...
I cannot boot to floppy....I cannot get into BIOS using the F10 BIOS disk that I downloaded and was using...I cannot boot to HD.....it just simply stalls during bootup...
what do i do now?
