Thanks guys for the help!

Opened the case for the first time in months and just to make sure replugged the cable. Since the system was working OK this morning I don't suspect jumpers and since the BIOS does not see the HD I think the boot sector isn't the direct cause or involved at all. Which leaves either a bad HD or a bad MfB or maybe even a bad BIOS. The other HD is (E-IDE) seen by the BIOS btw.

Downloading a bootable Knoppix version to see if anything works at all. The only working diskette I have is in said broken desktop.
