Follow previous steps in reverse to install the new HDD

The Windows XP image requires 512MB RAM, the maximum for this board. Install the additional RAM now.
It is very likely that the CPU heatsink got knocked loose and is making insufficient contact with the CPU. Cut the zip tie that is retaining the heatsink and carefully pull it out.
Disconnect the CPU fan's power lead
Grasp the heatsink firmly and gently rotate it counter-clockwise to unlock it. The clip nearest the front panel of the unit should move forward, and you should be able to tilt it back and lift it out
Clean the thermal compound from the CPU and heatsink, replace with new compound. (Optional but recommended)
Gently place the heatsink back on the CPU socket, placing the rear metal clip over the corresponding tab of the heatsink. Tilt the heatsink down and make sure the front metal clip is aligned with the tab on the front of the socket.
Twist the heatsink clockwise to retract the front metal clip and lock it into place. It will not twist far, around 15º. A small click or pop will likely be felt when it has completed travel - do not over-rotate!
