Boot problem

[VRG Scotty]

Hi all, I had to re-install vista 32bit ultimate as I had changed
motherboards and now when booting vista I get DISK BOOT FAILURE PLEASE
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER I do this and vista boots up fine. I've
tried the repair startup option on the vista DVD but it found no fault.
I have checked the BIOS settings and all is fine.
Can anyone help solve this problem?
System specs...
2x500gb Maxtors in RAID 0. Motherboard Asus Crosshair, 4gb Corsiar XMSpro
RAM, AMD FX-64 black edition, 2 x Gainward bliss 8800GTX graphics.
Thanks

Easiest possibility is you have a driver disk in your floppy drive. Do you
have your boot files on the Vista drive? You may need to make the partition
with the boot files 'active' and make sure the boot files partition is on
the first hd in boot priority and active.

Nope no disks in the drive John, and yup all boot files on the OS drive and
is first drive in boot priority.

Is the partition with the boot files marked active?

Sure is went into disk management and it is marked as active, boot. page
file, crash dump, primary partition

You could try EasyBCD or VistaBootPro to see if you can see anything wrong
with your BCD store, or to use one of them to try to restore the Vista boot
process.

I'll give it a go cheers for your help John

Since not hitting any key when booting with the DVD in the boot order, the
DVD takes control and pass thru to the HD. You have something ahead of the
hard drive which is stopping the boot order. Check the boot priority again
and make sure you have nothing ahead of the hard drive. Since the Vista
startup repair sees no problems looking at the hd directly, I would
concentrate on what is going wrong with your BIOS priority sequence. If you
have more than one HD, maybe in the secondary index, the order got changed.
