The 4000 and 4100 are pretty similar, at least in this part of it. Yes, the 4000 has the OS in flashram.
What version of 4000 is it? -001, -002, -003, or -004 (this number is after the last part of the model number on the back of the unit)
If it is a -001 or -002, set the lone drive to Master. If it is a -003 or -004, set the drive to C/S. And in case you did not know, the first drive position is the bottom of the tray closest to the power supply.
Are you sure the 20GB drive works (hey, you have to ask)?
Does anything happen when you press the power switch (as David said, for a couple of seconds)? Do the fans spin up? Does the drive power up?
Assuming, all of the above have been checked and are as they should be, then pop the memory stick out and put it back in. Do the same with the CPU (be careful, do not break the tabs).
After you do all that, let us know the results and any indications you can give us if it is still not working. Just pay attention to things as you go through all of this. The little tiny details can quite often tell you problem.
David, I have powered a 4000 up without a battery in it. Worked just fine. It just wouldn't rememebr anything (kind of like me on some days).
Jontz, David was right, the 4000 does have the OS in Flashram just like the 4100.
