    Hey bdawg, I also purchased a computer from IBuyPower and have 160 wd hard drive. Anyways, try reconnecting the hard drive to see if that helps any and look inside your computer to see if everything else is properly inserted and everything is dustfree. I really don't know if any of this will work, but you never know.

    that doesn't sound like a hard drive problem to me...more like the motherboard, if it isn't even posting or anything.
