IDE Boot failure
Hi guys,
Just built a new computer with a couple of old parts in there. I'm using 2 ide devices on a new motherboard, the motherboard supports sata. However, i don't have any sata devices and didn't plan on buying any at the moment. I tried booting with the IDE HDD as a master, and a DVD burner as a slave. When i turned on the computer for the first time,  , it says "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT DISK AND PRESS ENTER"Is this because i'm using my IDE device to boot? I'm guessing i have to buy a new sata hdd. I don't mind doing so though... |
