HDD/Boot
I have a dimension 2100 with a seagate 80MB HDD OS is XP Home. One day it decided it was not going to boot, all I got was invalid boot disk, so i called dell they told it was my probably my HDD, so I connected a 98 HDD into it and it booted. But soemthing told me to put the XP HDD into the IBM I took the 98 HDD out of and it flashed no operating system found so i shut it down and put the XP CD into the drive and it booted.
So what could be wrong with the dell.
Oh and a dell tech on my second phone call told me it was my motherboard specifically the PCI connectors, but how caould it be if teh 98 worked fine.
Any ideas.

Have you ran Dell diagnostic's extended test on the hard drive, the procedures for this should be in your owner's manual?
What is the reading of the diagnostic lights on back panel when this happens?
