"boot disk failure"

DOMESTIC · 03-03-2006, 07:32 PM

Ok i just got my new harddrive and installed it. Im installing a 250GB WD SATA HD to go along with my 74gb raptor drive. When i went to go boot my computer it said "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter". Now, my bios detects both HD's and i even set up a Raid 0 configuration and had the same probelm. I checked the boot priority and had my HD with windows boot first.
Than, i disconnected my new HD and tried booting with just the raptor. I still got the same warning? What does this mean? Did I lose all my data on my HD during the installtation process somehow? What could be the problem here.
