After installing new HD Seagate 40gig and a new Video

card ATI 9200 I am doing a clean install of Windows XP
Upgrade Home edition. / After setup installs all the

necessary files.A red progress bar that indicates the
system will reboot in 15 seconds so the Graphical User
Interface portion of setup can begin. This is the end of
the text portion of setup.But then, system reboots and
the CD starts up from the very beginning of Setup again.
If I take CD out of drive, and reboot I get an error:
After verifying DMI pool data..........

DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
Please help? What am I doing wrong./

I have "one Hard drive" now, the old one is in the
garbage.

Make sure that your hard drive is listed in the boot sequence in your bios.
It sounds like you've got it set to boot from CD first, but it's not looking
at the hard drive at all.

Or...you didn't load something like ez-bios on the drive, did you?

No, I did not loadez-bios on the drive. / Do I nee too?
I think I have the bios set to boot sequence CDrom,C,A
(PS. I also have a CD burner installed as the Master, and
the cdrom as the slave)-but this should not make any diff?
(will get back to you on the boot sequence)
Let me have a check, please reply again if you can help.
