    hey,

    this is really anoying but i dont know how to fix it.
    everytime i shutdown my computer (not when i reset) my computer
    says on the boot "boot disk failure insert system disk". Can fix the problem
    by typing "fixboot" but this means everytime i turn my comp on i have to load the system disk :mad: .

    This problem only started after i installed ATI drivers.
    It may be the HDD :confused:

    Have you tried to go back to an earlier Catalyst version, one that worked before? Also, have you tried System Restore (if you have Windows XP)?
