Not really; we're hesitant about plugging in another HD in my PC because I'm still not sure about what has caused this complete failure of my system. I mean: the motherboard may be broken too, it could have been the first to go and have taken the HD with it. I simply would not want to break another (and especiall: somebody elses) HD...

One question that keeps me wondering about the state of my PC: in case it were functioning properly, shouldn't the error ''operating system not found" appear when there is no HD connected?
