SATA-DISK BOOT FAILURE

by sunilsrane . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

Hi All,
I have a SATA HDD which had dual boot using the grub loader. The os where fedora and windows.
One fine day I get an error message booting into windows stating that ntdlr was missing. It was a while since I formatted the HDD, so i booted using the winxp cdrom drive deleted all the partions including the linux partion and installed a fresh copy of windows. The first boot into windows was fine but the moment I restarted teh system I got a “BOOT DISK FAILURE”. I reinstalled windows again but the same problem persists, I tried replacing the NTLDR through a winxp cd, no change. I reset the BIOS to default and made sure only the HDD was the primary boot device still no change. I unplugged the other drives in the system, still the same problem!!! in short HELP!!!
