View Full Version : Boot nonsense

Yesterday morning and this morning (and many to come probably...) I keep getting an error on my new pc while loading in the bios before vista is loaded.
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
After I try to start up 4 or 5 times it stops and Vista loads. But I'm not planning on doing that forever and I only got this pc for less then 2 days. Its working great and I have no problems or complains except for this. Anyone know what this means? Specs are in my sig (that refuses to get smaller).
Greetz,
Pimp

That would mean the motherboard/BIOS can't find your hard drive. However if it works after 4-5 times, it's either a power issue, loose cable or the hard drive is on it's death bed.
Or, it could be a knee-jerk reaction towards overclock. And did you say you just had this computer?
BIOS problem may also manifests itself in such problem!

1. Open up your case and make sure all cable are properly and securely connected.
2. Check your peripheral jumper placements(i.e. Master, Slave, Cable Select, etc.)
3. Set boot device priority in the BIOS.
4. Perform a BIOS update. If no newer version of BIOS is available, reflash with current revision.
5. Check for HDD errors once in Vista.
Hope you get this issue worked out. :thumb:

thanks a lot , bump up up up!! When you were 19, she paid your college tuition, drove you to campus, carried your bags. You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends. When you were 20, she asked whether you were seeing anyone. You thanked her by saying, “It's none of your business.” When you were 21, she suggested certain careers for your future. You thanked her by saying, “I don't want to be like you.” When you were 22, she hugged you at your college graduation. You thanked her by asking whether she could pay for a trip to Europe. When you were 23, she gave you furniture for your first apartment. You thanked her by telling your friends it was ugly. When you were 24, she met your fiance10 and asked about your plans for the future. You thanked her by glaring and growling, “Muuhh-ther, please!” When you were 25, she helped to pay for your wedding, and she cried and told you how deeply she loved you. You thanked her by moving halfway across the country. When you were 30, she called with some advice on the baby. You thanked her by telling her, “Things are different now.” When you were 40, she called to remind you of a relative's birthday. You thanked her by saying you were “really busy right now.” When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care of her. You thanked her by reading about the burden parents become to their children. And then one day she quietly died. And everything you never did came crashing down like thunder. “Rock me baby, rock me all night long.” “The hand who rocks the cradle...may rock the world”.Thsale is a professional, loyal and reliable wow gold supplier online, we pioneered selling cheap wow gold.
