Can’t boot without Win XP Disk

by mymail . Updated 15 years, 4 months ago

Getting “Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk” attempting to boot up a new computer. The hardware is a P4 with an Abit AA8XE motherboard. The computer boots from the HDD only if the Windows XP disk in the CD drive, even though I’m not booting from the CD. Any suggestions to correct this would be appreicated. I have already reformatted the disk and done a complete install, but still get the same problem.
