THE HDD AND WILL NOT DISPLAY THE BOOT PROMPT...

HOW DO I OPEN THIS CASE FOR A VISUAL, N R TEST , ANY SUGG.

Please tone down your message. Is your CAPSLOCK button stuck or
broken? Typing in capital letters is considered YELLING and it is rude
and not proper Usenet etiquette.

Come back when you have fixed your message.

PLEASE STOP YELLING, and type in small characters.
