I have tried to install Windows XP four times.
Every time it says NON SYSTEM DISK ERROR - BOOT FROM XP
CD? but I have already installed XP to the HD and set my
bios to boot from the HD too.

What can I do ?

I have tried replacing CD drives, Hard Disks IDE cables
etc.

I have tried editing most things in the BIOS too.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

thanks Dan
 
Try booting up using the XP CD-ROM and choose to repair. Then choose the
Recovery Console Option...
Choose the number corresponding to your XP version and enter your
Administrator Password (then press enter).

After that you'll see a command prompt...enter the following command:

bootcfg /rebuild" command to fix boot.ini.
FIXBOOT will fix the boot sector on the boot drive,
FIXMBR will fix the master boot record if the NT loader
complains of a missing HAL or unmountable boot volume.



After the process is completed enter the command EXIT to quit (and the
system should auto reboot OK from that point onwards...

check to make sure your bios is up to date and/or not
corrupted. I had to flash my bios to correct this error.
