Hi.
The hard disc on my 5000 died on me a few weeks back, wiping all the data in the process (fortunately, I had it backed up). Anyway, I replaced the HD today with a used drive and re-formatted it. I had a couple of error signs so I also re-installed the OS & re-initialised. Now the system boots up correctly every 2nd or 3rd time. The rest of the time I get a "SEng device not detected" screen. After pressing ok. If I try to load from the HD I get a "Invalid FS on HD" screen.
I have ordered a new HD but I wondered if anybody else had had a similar problem.
Can I do without the HD? I also installed the CD Drive today so I presume I can operate with the CF & the CD, right?
Any comments, advice or suggestions greatly appreciated.
