Disk Boot Failure, Please Insert System Disk And Press Enter
hey guys! possibly the 50th time this problem has occured to many of you out there basically here's the story, i was playing a game when all of a sudden my cpu froze, it stayed like that for a while before i manually restarted the system, i was then prompted with DISK BOOT FAILURE, PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER, initially i thought i would have to format the pc so i attempted this, when it rebooted after copying the files over it would just take me back to the windows xp blue setup screen instead of starting windows, also when i checked to see if there was a partition there wasnt one there, it's as if the partition is being deleted each time the cpu reboots after the initial format. in cmos it detects the hard drive and its capacity, the IDE leads are working fine and the HDD itself works fine and can be formatted in my 2nd pc, ive swapped hard drives and everyting, leads and HDD works fine in my secondary pc. im wondering if this is a mobo problem, grateful for any advice!
thanks!
