Just finished building this box and after setting up the Bios, I try to boot into either the CD or Floppy to use the WD'd Data Lifeguard Tools to setup the HD. I keep getting Boot Failure message. I know the CD and floppy work because they are from a working system and also that the CD and floppy discs are good because they also work in other systems.

Any ideas?

Thanks

All is well now. Just found out that the new floppy cable that came with the MB was bad. Also, the Bootable CD that Western Digital supplies does not come with any CD Rom drivers so that's why the CD would not boot up. I am in the process of installing XP now. Keeping fingers crossed :D
