Using a boot disk will access the A:drive to engage the boot disk,the sequence could have changed in the CMOS settings by searching another option for the boot files.
Check the BIOS configuration in the CMOS control panel to see if the boot order is specified per setup.If you are booting from the c:drive-it will be listed first,so check this to make sure you have the correct boot device selected.

Error 1962 is the Drive does not contain a valid boot sector

1. Verify a bootable operating system is installed.
2. Run Diagnostics
3. Internal SCSI drive cable, if internal boot device; external SCSI drive cable, in external boot device
4.I/O function card
5. Hard disk drive

has your hdd been formatted with the system?
