I bought a Hewlett-Packard computer about a year
ago, and a virus totally corrupted my windows files and I
was forced to format my hard disk and re-install my
Windows XP OS with my upgrade disk. Now Im getting a
problem with booting up Windows, I get an error message
saying "BOOT DISK FAILURE, PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND
HIT ENTER". I realized that my OS will boot up if I have
my Windows XP in my CD tray, however. I do not understand
why this happens, I should be able to boot up my computer
without my upgrade CD in there. Somebody please help me
out. Thanks.
 
I had similar problem with a harddrive from that year in
a hp computer. If its warrenty i would look at returning
the computer. See what hp has to say about that.
 
yea i know that.. my old hard drive became trash after i
got the virus and the one im using now (which is bran new
and i just bought it yesterday) and im getting this
message right after i install the windows xp software...
could my windows software me screwed up or something? plz
help, this thing is driving me crazy.
