I doubt that. If it were a software problem I think I would have to be
able to boot from the Windows CD, but I can't. Also I guess I would
have to be able to enter the bios setup, because this has nothing to do
with the installed OS, but I can't either.

So I'm pretty sure it is a hardware problem... I wish it were a
software problem, then I could just re-install the Windows. But now,
not being able to boot from hard disk or CD, I don't know where to
start.

But I'll post it in the groups you suggested as well, perhaps someone
there will be able to help my out.
