That could very well mean the drive has died. If you can't boot from
cd, either (holding down the "C" key while booting), it may also mean
the system board battery has died and it lost it's mind.

Could be a number of things, right up to the onboard IDE controller
dying. I don't remember at this point -- were the AIO's IDE or still SCSI?
