"Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and Press Enter" The drive was
detected in the bios.
I completed the Seatools testing (result below), where is passed all test
expcept the "file structure test".

File Structure Test Result:
Partition 1 (NTFS (80 GB) ) Result: Failed with critical Errors
The following errors were found while scanning the volume:
- One or more errors were found in the index
- Other errors were found
NOTE: Any report of possible errors in the file system tests are for
informational purposes only. We suggest you should consider testing
with
the official file system diagnostic utilities for your operating system.
Seagate is not able to assist with troubleshooting or reviewing
file system test results.
******************************************
Recommendation:
All selected physical diagnostics passed.
If you are not experiencing data loss and SeaTools reports File
System Structure errors, they may be caused by a lock-up or
failure to shutdown Windows correctly. Many times, these errors
may be repaired through normal system maintenance which
includes using the Windows provided "Defrag" and
"Scandisk / Chkdsk / Error Checking" utilities.
If you are experiencing a hardware error, you should isolate
the cause and replace the failing component. If you are unsure how
to proceed with repairs, contact a computer professional. After
completing any maintenance tasks, run SeaTools again to
verify that all errors have been repaired. If errors continue to
occur, the system may not be stable. Again, contact a computer
professional.
========================================================
Shall I preform an XP Recovery using installation disks, or is something
else the matter?
