umm.. just simple suggestions. have you detected the harddisks in bios, jumpers on the hdd for slave, master etc.<br />
<br />
you say that nothing shows on the screen. the bios should still boot up even though there are no hdd's installed. so if you can't get anything on the screen i think it's either your video card or your monitor that isn't right.<br />

I took my hard disks out of my computer and installed them in a new computer. &nbsp;When I returned the hard drives to their <br />
original computer, it wouldn't boot up. &nbsp;When I try to boot <br />
up I hear it access the RAM but nothing shows on the screen.<br />
I also hear it beep a few times. &nbsp;I tried changing the parallel cables to see if that helped, I also tried only using one hard drive. &nbsp;Both of my hard drives are not usable<br />
and I don't have access to another computer to see if they still work. &nbsp;Any ideas?
