hey guys,
So me and my buddy just put together a killer machine and are having trouble getting the machine to recognize the OS disk. It has two disk drives 1 sata and 1 IDE. In the BIOS it is recognizing both drives but when we try to boot from the OS to install XP home edition we're getting "Disk Read Failure, insert system disk and press enter". We have the boot order as HDD, Disk, Removeable. I've searched through some forums about this error but didn't find anyone who was putting a fresh OS on a newly built PC. We're really excited to get this up and running because it's a sick machine running 2.66 Ghz Quad Core, 2 SLI 9800 GTX cards, and 4 gb of ram. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
