My old hard drive was starting to bite the dust. I had been getting error messages while trying to play mp3s for a couple days. I ran chkdsk /f and saw there were some bad sectors. I got a new hard drive and copied over what I could, then removed the old drive. When I tried to boot up again I got the Disk Boot Failure Please INsert System Disk message.
Few details, old harddrive was ATA/100, new one is SATA. When I first built the system I had similar problems. The configuration is a little weird: i.e. the disk with /Windows is d: and the drive I removed was c:.
I tried putting the drive back in, but that did not fix the problem. I've played with the boot priority, and tried booting from CD without success. I do not have a boot floppy I'm afraid, and won't be getting one anytime soon as this pc is a shuttle sff with no floppy drive. Any ideas?
