Nope, its running on xp i do have a vista disc i can use on it though, but im still unsure of the problem, would the HDD make the monitor say no signal?

Yes, It could.

No, certainly it could not. Good grief...why do you answer a question when you have no clue?

Your PC boots through your BIOS. It looks for a HD on the IDE channel(s). If there is none (in most cases nowadays, there is none there because it is a SATA drive). the monitor will say "No HD found" on the boot screen. Since you can't see the message but see a "No signal", your Video circuitry is bad. Either the cable or the graphics card is bad.
