im attempting to set up a new pc as follows:
amd athlon x2 4000+
MSI K9vGM-V
hitachi deskstar 80Gb SATA
(i have no floppy drive)
i have the hard disk connected in the "sata1" socket on the motherboard
i have set the system to boot from cd-rom
the bios finds my dvd drive and the sata drive.
i get the message "verifying dmi pool data"
then "boot from cd"
then "disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter."
the xp disk definately works
the sata drive is listed on startup, so the bios can see it. all the connections seem ok on the motherboard.
any help would be really useful guys
