Get the details.

The only switches which comes Lifetime Warranty is HP Switches.

your cmos battery is the size of a nickle

Sounds like its a graphics problem or memory problem. Check the graphics and all of your connections if not remove the silver coin battery and try and start it up.

The drivers can be found here

First you need to find the revision. Seems revisions are v1.0, v1.0+B1 and v3.0. My board is a v1.0+B1 since there is a little "B1" sticker on the MB just above the gold ECS heatsink.

Then go to the ECS Taiwan website to get drivers. ECS.com.tw.

www.msi.com.tw

installpatch found on microsoft.com named kb1111

open the side cover of cpu and you will see inside motherboard ther is one lithium cr2032 battery is there that is cmos battery.

you need to flash the bios (reset it) there are 2 ways. the first is to find the jumper on the board and switch it to pins 2 and 3 then replace it to i and 2 .. the jumper is jcmos 1.. or jp1


the second is
unplug the system
remove the side panel to open the case
locate the battery on the main board
remove the battery
press and hold the power buttoin for 10 seconds
replace battery
plug in and boot

Here is what you should do, go to a computer store and buy a 40G HD. Try installing on that. It could be the size, but most likly not. Im going to guess and say take a look at the bottom of your reinstall disk. If it has any scratches, there is your problem. NTLDR is your boot sector on you HD.
