Won't boot. I was given a netvista machine to fix up and give to my nephew. Last week the machine was working. However, I was going to put a second drive in, so I opened tha case. When I opened it, the hard drive was just sitting in the bottom of the case so I attached it where it belongs. Now, when I try to turn it on, it comes on for 3 seconds, turns off, and then 3 seconds later it starts up again, however, it never boots. Any thoughts? I really need some help because my mother-in-law is supposed to leave at 11AM to drive back to FL where my nephew lives. Thanks.

As it turned out, I never did install the second hard drive in it. There was not place I could mount it and have the cabled reach. I decided to just let my nephew have an 80 Gig hard drive. Put it all together and... nothing.. **sigh** Really upset, the nephew was looking forward to it... As it turned out, I never did install the second hard drive in it.

Its not even getting to the part where it begins loading the BIOS. The DVD drive flashes, then the machine shuts off, then it comes back on. DVD drive flashes, then nothing. Keyboard doesn't flash. monitor does nothing...
