Joe, I'm afraid I replied too quickly. If the hard drive doesn't work I
don't know what you can do except examine your backups - which I'm sure
you have. If you are able to pull the drive and make it boot while
attached to some other computer then dmidecode would be informative.

Maybe boot from a stick to check the hardware in context?

Also, unlike MS software, Linux will happily boot using most consumer
hardware, I have successfully migrated my work environment by putting
the old HD into a new(er) box and rebooting. Once updates are run for
the new (to Fedora) hardware, things are pretty smooth.

Might be worth a try.
