THANKS!  Now, does this mean the hard drive or the CD-ROM? I noticed someone 
else mentioned the DVD/CD drive as a possibility and also the cable. I had 
been taking the drive in and out of the notebook (it's a notebook) many times 
and it's possible it;s just not sitting right....

I'll give it a shot.

Thanks so much for following up on this, I really appreciate the help!!
