all the cables are fine. my instinct tells me its a virus cause the computer never moved from its orig location. what do i do if a virus causes it to not read a harddrive?

it's not a virus. gotta be hardware.

Do you have a bootdisk??? If so, you can boot it from floppy to run some diagnostics.

sounds like you might need a reformat and reinstall.
