So I just rebuilt my computer with all of the old parts (except new CPU fan) into a new NZXT case. Once I put it all back together I am getting this error message:

verifying DMI pool data.............
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

I have gone into the boot bios and it is definitely recognizing both WD hard drives and I have tried booting from both. I did remove my old optical drive from my old build so I would have to create. New boot disk on a USB but not sure how.

My question is 2 part:
1. Any thoughts on why it isn't booting up

2. Would creating a boot disk via USB work and help me restore my old system set up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
