Help: disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter
"DISK BOOT FAILURE. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" I can enter into BIOS setup . I made the boot sequence devices as First Boot Device: CDROM Second Boot Device: Hard Disk Third Boot Device: Removable disc. I have got a new hard disc installed in the computer and wanted to install the OS. Now I put the XP installation disc and turn on the computer ... I am getting the error. Can anyone help me? |

Re: Help: disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter
Even I am having this problem. Everybody told me my hard drive was slowly going bad and to get a new one. You say you had a new hard disk installed. Don't know but it might be a manufacturing hardware problem in which case return it back to the shop or you might have done something wrong while installing the drive.

Re: Help: disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter
this boot failure error doesn't always means dat HDD is bad/crashed ....its a rather a rare case ..
it can happen when system while booting cant find proper windows installation due to files corruption or when no OS is not found... use a "Bootable" XP Installation Disk to install & set First Boot Device as CDROM ... so you'll get a message something like "press any key to boot from CD.. " |

Re: Help: disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter
Usually this happens when ur MBR is wiped out - a simple reinstall/cleaninstall may do the job.
Also check if thr cd is bootable or not and the CD-rom is detected in bios.

^^
yes...the dvdrom is detected in BIOs. The installation disk is also bootable as i installed XP severel times from it. Quote:
