Ok, heres the dillio. My boot order is as follow
(1)CD-ROM
(2)Hard Drive
(3)Floppy (dont even have one)
Now Heres my configuration
x2 Hard drives
x1 Cd Rom
1x 74GB 10k SATA Raptor (primary boot hard drive)
1x 40GB 5.2k IDE
Both of my hard drive have windows on it. Installed windows on my raptor and left windows installed on my older hard drive and kept it in there for the extra storage. Well NOW my computer only boots up correctly when I have the windows XP cd in. (Granted I dont have to boot off of it) it just has to be in the ROM drive. These are both windows XP home installations.
So ya if I take the windows cd out I will instantely get the disk boot failure, insert system disk. But when I put it in windows boots up like normal after it says: " do you want to boot off cd press any button to continue......." I just push nothing and everything is cool.
I really need to get this fixed so definetly any sudgestions or fixes would be great im desperate. If I absouletly have to reformat my 40 GB drive I will. this error needs to stop
