DISK BOOT FAILURE...

J

Joe

I have just installed a new motherboard and some RAM, but
not being the biggest expert, I'm having problems. When
it starts up it only get's as far as 'Verifying DMI Pool
Data' (or what ever it says) then it reads 'DISK BOOT
FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER'. Thats after
it has tried to boot from CD. My Boot sequence is Floppy,
HHD-0, CD-Rom.

Does anyone know whats wrong?

Cheers...

Set your boot order to CD-ROM first, boot the XP CD and do a
repair install so the new motherboard/CPU can have the
correct drivers installed.
