Hi Guys, had my primary disk fail. Used restore disks on a new solid state drive, that process seemed to go ok (prompts indicated was formatting drive, then proceeded asking for disks 2 and 3). Appeared ok right to the end of restore.
Now when booting (CD removed) system goes past BIOS ok, then indicates "Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and Press Enter"

Thanks rgd1101, went through bios settings to ensure new drive was seen ok. To ensure I didn't nuke what was left of the original drive I also unplugged it. Restore routine was run through again, this time successful.

Next I need to see if I can transfer files (photos, documents) over to something more reliable.
