The tech was able to get it to boot and has run some diagnostics reporting some bad sectors on one of the drives. And, it’s only going to cost me $49.95. However, I do plan on trying to get some more details when I pick it up as I couldn’t get it to boot at all, and they did successfully boot from a diagnostic CD-ROM. But of course, they probably won’t tell me all that much as then I wouldn’t need them next time now would I?
