Disk Boot Failure

[Guest]

Moved sb sound card to new PCI slot. Sytem freezes on start up then rec's
error:
-Media test cable failure'
-pre-boot execution enironment error
-PXE-E61 Media test failure
-disk boot failure insert sytem disk...
I took sound card out tried to reboot same response I see mulitmedia in IRQ
in 5,9,11
I'm thinking it's the sound card but I can not get to the harddrives
Tried putting in CD but doies not help boot either.
The other problem is the I have 3 original XP prof CD's how can I tell what
serial # to use. I didn't remember which one I install on the sytem.

Some adjacent slots on motherboards can share resources. But most likelt is
that a drive cable has been moved during the hardware installation- remove
and reseat the cables.
