    F7AD2C9C-B421-4DB6-9B0F-1D1BB954E14B.jpeg A CF-28 of mine recently started to do that. I put in a Windows 2000 DVD into a external DVD drive and sits on that. And the hard disk light it always on
    Any help here?

    Your hard drive is probably bad. Try removing the caddy then booting off the DVD to confirm.

    Update: Now after leaving it on overnight (plus 6 hours and overnight as in 8-2). It’s sitting on this screen now (see attached photo). I haven’t touch anything and according to my wife it sat there when I went into the bedroom to watch YouTube and other things on a new QLED 8K TV (I believe its 72 inches). All from a CF-19 in tablet mode and using a homemade VGA-HDMI cord. Now I might press the 1st option. I’ll update soon
