    When the box is booting press F1 or F<whatever>, you should be able to access the bios. Check the ide cable first.

    You could try changing the boot order in the bios back and make a boot disk (floppy) to begin the install.

    Well you're left with 2 possibilites here
    1. The hdd is done for.
    2. Your bios config is incorrect.
