Hi all, i have searched the forums before posting this to see if i could find anything similar but to no avail.
My problem is as follows.
When i boot my machine without the Xp pro disc in the Cd-rom Drive i get the invalid boot disk error after post.
IF i leave the xp pro disc in the cd-rom drive, and do not boot from it, my system will then finish posting and boot as normal.
I have tried recovery console:
chkdsk /p
Fixmbr
Fixboot
In that order again...to no avail.
I also flashed my motherboard bios (asus m2n4-sli). To no avail.
I am thinking my HDD is not saving the MBR for some strange reason, and before i replace it, i would like to hear your views.
Thanks
