jamie ryan So it would seem. Have you tried calling Dell, instead of using 'Chat', or whatever it's called? Bev.

pfhokie Is the power switch LED lite, what is the colour, is it blinking, or solid? Check the diagnostic lights on the FRONT PANEL If you had a BIOS upgrade failure, try removing the CMOS battery on the motherboard, wait 30+- minutes, replace it and see if the PC starts. If this does not fix the problem, then the typical remedy for failed, or corrupt BIOS flash, is to replace the motherboard. Bev.

Bob Cardone As you would be installing the new hard drive as a secondary, to clone the primary to it, the 8400 has a spare SATA power connector inside the case for an addititional drive, but you will need to buy an 18" SATA data cable. Note: The retail boxed version of the hard drive, should include a SATA data cable. Bev.
