Cannot boot from harddrive



I changed the subject to be consistent with the problem you are seeing.

Could be heat.  Some of the Loki demos locked up my machine in a similar
fashion, and it has otherwise been stable.

What changed that broke this?  Could you try booting with that disk in
another machine (it would help you understand if this is a hardware or
software issue)?  If you using IDE drives, try leave only the harddrive
on and make sure you set the BIOS to only try to boot using that device.

It sounds more like an issue with your boot loader, or perhaps a
master/slave issue than the BIOS breaking.

Good luck,
