Have you removed the CMOS battery? If not, remove for an - better overnight, then see if the computer will let you into the BIOS.

remember the steps. unplug, move jumper, remove battery.
In the morning replace the battery, move the jumper back and plug it back in.
good luck.

Well, I have to laugh at myself for this one. After I couln't post I went to pull the jumper and pulled the rom jumper. I then left it on recovery. Then trying to rejump it the right way I coudn't get it to post. Finally I followed the steps and left it alone for about 2 hours. Then it boots. Now its saying that there is a bad rom. So fiddle around and get the bios file on a disk. For some cockeyed reason I could not get it to load. Finally I decided I should mess around with the floppy and see if everything was connected right. I ended up having the floppy cable flipflopped on the floppy drive. Finally, I have everything running very quick. YEEAAAHHHH!!!!
Anyway, Thanks for the help.
Life is a buger, so eat it!

You are in good company. I know I've done things just as goofy as that before, like trying forever to get a 'dead' motherboard to POST with the CMOS jumper in the reset position. :rant:
