I helped a friend install a CD-ROM and new hard drive to his 486 VESA 
local bus computer. We had to take out the 5.25 floppy drive to have 
space for the new hard drive. Installing the new peripherals was not a 
problem. The problem was when we took out the 5.25 floppy drive, the 
computer will not boot because the 3.5 floppy drive was the b: drive 
originally. We changed the cmos settings and put on the power on 
defaults. Then I tried to tinker with the jumpers in the 3.5 floppy 
drive. I place the jumper to MD setting - figuring that that was Master 
drive. When I powered on the computer, only the fan worked. I cannot 
hear the cpu start or the booting. It seems that there is no power being 
delivered to the motherboard.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks and regards.

Manny
