Can you at least boot Knoppix on the NT box and salvage what files you can, then reinstall?

Nope. It pings the CD drive during POST (and displays a message saying that it found one) but never spins it. The reboot happens before it gets that far. The floppy LED never comes on at all. Unless pulling out all the boards & RAM and reseating them fixes this, I may need to do a hard disk transplant. Feh.

I mean, the box could use a speed upgrade, but I had other tasks in mind for the faster machines in the pipeline. Argh.
