Well, MML & Bater fixed the problem
Our best guess is that the RAM slot went bad, which fried the main HD. But the new HD is in there now & working
The old hard drive is hooked up as well & we have a data recover program running it it now...and it's finding files!
The only bad part is that after 2 hours, it's still at 0% complete
But it is finding files, so that is a very good thing
