THE SIMPLE MAN
When I try to boot up my frans pc i get a "boot disk error and I'm told to insert system disk". This normaly means reformatting and installing a fresh copy of whatever OS your using.
Done that- re-formatted the HDD and installed a fresh copy of XP Pro, let it finish doing a full install before I removed XP boot disk, installed various motherboard and other software,
restarted the comp and when it started up I got the same god dam boot disk failure, insert system disk error again. So I did the afore mentioned repair procedure for this type error again- with the same result.
The next time I went to start all over agiain I missed the "press any key to boot from cd" promt message and the dam thing booted up into XP. Removed XP boot disk and restarted it and sure as hell I got the boot disk failure, insert system disk error again, put boot disk back in ignoring boot from cd promt annd it booted up ok?? Now I have to put the XP boot disk and ignore the boot from cd promt and it boots up ok.
