Hello, first time using these forums.

I have a problem while building up new computer from old parts.
The PC is for my brother.

I've got working motherboard, RAMs, Power and Hard Drive.
There's nothing extra (DVD, etc.) in it.

I already tested the computer with my own hard drive and it worked just fine. It loaded up windows and I was able to play and so.

Now I have my brothers Hard Drive, and it gives the error "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter"

The Hard Drive that was working was Samsung Model: HD642JJ 640 GB

The hard drive that wasn't working was
Western Digital WD10EZEX 1TB

Western Digital's hard drive has been on every day use until 10 minutes ago, so it has windows and all in it.


As for my other parts

Processor: Intel Core2 Duo E8400
Motherboard: MS-7525 Boston Mobo Or HP Compaq MS-7525

As for the bios options, there's "Main, Advanced, Power, Boot, Exit"

In Boot -section there's only Boot Device Priority, and I can only chance the 1st-4th device order, nothing else. Most of the tutorials videos I checked out they have section called "Hard Disk Drivers"

I'm in hurry with this one since my brothers birthday is tomorrow so any help could be nice!

And hint that I'm not very used with PC stuff so please use words I can understand

As an edit: The 4 options in Boot Device Priority are Floppy Group, CD-ROM Group, Hard Drive Group & NetworkBoot Group in mentioned order. (1st Floppy etc)

That's as well the default order by bios.

Possible reason is that the WD drive has failed, but you can test it on a working PC with WD Data LifeGuard Diagnostic. I haven't posted a link to it as WD seems to be having issues with it's website right now, and I won't post third-party links as their downloads often carry unwanted add-ons.

You may have better luck so just Google it.
