This is strange, I'm getting a error on startup that says "Disk boot failure, Insert system disk and press enter"
If my Windows XP CD is in the drive then I don't get that error and it boots into windows, or if I inserted it after and press enter everything's ok. But the computer can't go into windows just booting from the hard disk.
This is happening on my comp's hard drive and a brand new western digital 160GB hard drive I just bought and installed XP to so I'm thinking its a hardware problem.
I've gone into bios and made sure that boot order goes 1. hard disk, 2. hard disk 3. cd rom.
I've also booted into repair mode and tried fixmbr, fixboot c, bootcfg /scan, bootcfg /rebuild on my first hd. I've tried resetting the CMOS battery, unplugging the power, removing and repluggint the IDE. All with No luck.
Anyone know anything else I can try that might fix the problem?
