Getting “Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk” attempting to boot up a new computer. The hardware is a P4 2.26 with a Foxconn motherboard. The only way the computer will boot is with the Windows XP disk in the CD drive, even though I’m not booting from the CD. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Installed the HDD from a previous computer (500Mhz Celeron) and imaged a copy of that drive onto the new HDD.
Installed the old computer’s HDD into the new computer (to rule out an imaging error).
Performed a fresh install of Windows XP using the new computer and the new HDD.
Performed a repair install of Windows XP using the new computer and the new HDD. Ran “fixboot” and “fixmbr” commands.
Could I be up against a hardware issue here? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
