Thanks Thats what I though as well. I have a mtec at 500 with hd hooked up and it wont boot Its not the drive and the maching boots from floopy when disconected. There is also 3.1 rom in the case of the mtec at 500 thats not worrking either It worked 5 months ago before we moved. Its driving me nuts Short drive. Thanks for your input
I had a problem with one of my 500s that wouldn't boot, the battery was dead in the memory expansion. As soon as I pulled the board the machine booted. Since your machine boots when the drive is removed I'd suggest checking the drive's chips to see if any became loose when you moved. I'd also change your battery, you don't want them leaking.
