I am working on a system with an AT power supply. I installed a new HDD because it had numerous bad sectors. I installed and formatted the drive. I then went to install Win95 and the system would not power up. The fan was running but nothing else would run. I ordered a new AT 250watt power supply. After I installed that supply the same thing happened. I then took the power supply out of the system and shorted the power switch with an old working HDD connected and the HDD would not power up. I assume that this supply is dead now that I have extensively tested it with a multimeter. I then took an Ohmmeter and connected one terminal to the case "ground" and proceeded to touch the meters other terminal to the individual pins designated for power on all attached drives. Each pin on every drive was reading 0 ohms. This puzzles me because it would not make sense for all those pins to be grounding. Are my drives cooked? Is there anything else I can do?
