Emax

I wouldn't purchase anything yet. It definitely should be booting from the floppy. The fact 
that it crashed during a format is not a good sign. Normally what would happen if the 
hard drive was bad is that it would have locked up typically during the Verifying stage, 
but when that happens typically turning it off then on the causes it to work fine and the 
hard drive to be formatted. The lights going out is more than likely a sign that something 
inside is loose or faulty.
