After installing new HD Seagate 40gig and a new Video
card ATI 9200 I am doing a clean install of Windows XP
Upgrade home ed. / After setup installs, the computer
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./
 
You need to make sure and set your BIOS to boot from your first hard drive.
 
Ok, to start the install, it said to set the BIOS to boot
from the CD-ROM / So now I should set it to boot from C
drive ??? is that correct ?
 
It should be first boot CD second boot HD1 or 0 depending on your bios 0 if
applicable. Now reboot and you should get a message "press any key to boot
from CD..." you wait a few seconds and it should boot from your hard drive.
