I got a question. Can you put the hard drives into a different computer and check them that way? That would be the easiest way to tell FOR SURE that its the motherboard.

Where do I go to find the tools neccesary to make my 256MB Lexar Jump Drive bootable?
I have the file required for the BIOS.

I suggest you try what I suggested first though - worked for me.

Unlug power cord from PSU.
Move clear CMOS jumper to clear position
Take out CMOS battery
Hold down the front power button for 10 seconds
Wait for 10-20mins
Put CMOS battery back
Put CMOS clear jumper back
Put power cord back.
Try to boot.

Well I just successfully FLASHED the BIOS, to no avail...

Hmm...
Odd.
I am going to try Coffee Junky's suggestions (+Rep to you, sir, for being so patient).
Should this one fail, too, should I declare my Motherboard dead?

thejamesman · 05-27-08

Are there any tools that I can use to test if my HDDs are shot?
There are no odd sounds or anything of the sort that would suggest a damaged/destroyed motor...

Seatools for DOS-

But the HDD must be detected by the BIOS. Is the HDD even detected in the BIOS?

thejamesman · 05-27-08

Nope. Ive swapped out 4 HDDs. None of them Detected in the BIOS. However, My CD/DVD Drive is detected no matter what SATA Channel its located on...VERY wierd.
