As a follow-up to providing a bit more info that may be of help......I have a bootable cd called "PC for Beginners". It boots up the pc and provides sections on the menu that may help troubleshoot this problem. The contents are: System Analysis, Hard Disk Tools, Windows Recovery (doesn't work), Windows Installation (doesn't work), Data recovery (doesn't work), Password Recovery, MS Product Key Finder, Boot to DOS, Restart (doesn't work), Help (no help). A couple of more things I noticed is that when it boots up, the info that's flashed on the screen for a few seconds about the system had these two statements: "System BIOS shadowed" and "Video BIOS shadowed". Also, the ME System Restoration Kit cds don't work, neither does the Backup cd that came with the pc. HOWEVER, what I found interesting was that only disk one of the Recovery cd worked. When inserting part two of the disk as instructed, I get again the black screen with the statement: "Operating system not found".
