    I was given a Compaq Presario 5000 by a friend. He had to take out the harddrive that was in it, so I tried to place my own into the computer and the harddrive will not start up, everything else turns on just not the harddrive. I unplug the ribbon cable that was plugged into the harddrive and power it up again, this time the everything powered on. I have no idea what is wrong here, any one know anything?

    Make sure that the Harddrive is set for Master, and when you plug it in, double check the connections on all the cables. Most likely you may of plugged into a bad power connector from the PS.
