Our home computer running XP had a harddrive failure. I replaced the harddrive and now want to install Win 7-64 bit on it. However I now get a "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter" when I try to use the install disk. How can I correct this?
I had tested the system via windows Win 7 intall advisor a month ago and had no outstanding issues, so it should work.
After reading many forums about this, here is what I've tried:
Help! I'm really at a loss. I've read lots of other people's entries on this same problem and have tried what I found, but to no avail.

-My system is running on a Gigabyte P35-DS3L with 4 gig ram, and the system ran fine previously until the HD died
--I have only one new harddrive running, which I tested in another machine to make sure it was good--and it ran fine.
--I swapped out the harddrive with another one (backup) and still got the same message
--changed the boot order to USB--DVD Drive--Harddrive and messed around with different orders
--tried a USB DVD drive--spun the disk but gave same error message
--tried a different Win 7 DVD (from work) but got same message
