i didnt know if this really goes here but, i just re-installed xp on my sis comp and now every time it loads up it needs the disk in the tray to even boot to windows. if the disk is not in the cd drive it will jus say boot failure please insert system disk. i already tried switching the boot order to hdd first and it still does it. any other suggestions
 
already tried that
i used my xp disk the first time and it did that
now i used a new one that i bought for her
 
she doesnt have a floppy in the comp
and it nheeds it to save the boot info onto
 
Doesn't need a floppy, you can make it an .ISO and use a cd, I have had problems like this before with an HP PC. I used PowerMax to write 0's to the drive, and then re-installed windows, worked fine.
