One of the cautions about sp2 is that you may need an updated BIOS for it to work. &nbsp;I would suggest reverting back to sp1 if the BIOS update is not an option. &nbsp;In the meantime, try hooking it up as a slave in another machine to recover the data.

OK, but that wouldn't keep it from going thru the boot up screen, would it? &nbsp;I suddenly can't get it to boot to Either CD or floppy.

I replaced the PS in an eMachine T1860, and it came up fine .... so I continued with Windows updates etc, rebooting a number of times without issue. &nbsp;However, when I rebooted after installing SP2, the video never returned. &nbsp;I now get absolutely no video when booting, including the bios screen. &nbsp;It powers up, and spins the hdd, but that's it. &nbsp;I've tried a separate known working video card .... nada.<br />

Desktops

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
