I keep getting this message everytime I try to turn the computer on. It will occasionally begin to start up but then will automatically reboot and I will get the Disk boot failure - Insert system disk and press Enter message again. I read the old posts on this but I have not been installing anything new.

View 5 Replies View Relateda friend asked me to install a new hard drive for him because his crashed. So i purchased a new hard drive (maxtor 60 gb) set out to partition and format the drive, using a win 98 boot disk. I partitoned the drive ( for large volume drive.) Formatted the drive ( format c: /s ) to include system files.and proceeded with Os install Windows 2000. Everything went as smooth as silk... the when install finished, I was prompted to remove the disk from cd rom and complete installation with the onscreen prompt. I removed disk, clicked finish and the computer rebooted upon loading, when it went to start windows it said DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
I put the Win 2K disc back in and hit enter. It started windows perfectly no errors at all... then I took disk out re-started ( to check system stability) and back to the same error message: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER. I of course freaked out, I feel like an idiot cause I cant get this thing to work right. tried reformatting without the sytem files, re-partioning tried win 98, winXP, nothing same stuff! So I talked to a pal got a hard drive wipe program off the net "killdisk", wiped the drive and tried to reinstall Win 2K, same problem.
I sometimes get the "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press Enter" error message when booting, but if I unplug my Logitech PS2 keyboard it boots up as if nothing was ever wrong. I can then usually plug the keyboard in as I reboot the PC and it works fine. But there is obviously something wrong here! It's as if the fact that the keyboard is attached to the PC makes the PC think that there is no hard disk in the PC.
There are no flags in Device Manager and everything is identified correctly

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 2 hdds on my system and windows xp crashed and would not recover from main drive so in an effort to save my data I loaded windows on secondary drive which worked, and gave me access to the old drive, all files were in tact and so I tryed to use windows recovery on winXP cd to no avail. When I try to boot from the original drive I get "boot disk failure, insert system disk and press enter" The thing that makes no sense is that I have rewritten the boot sector and mbr I also used the automatic recovery feature on the windows install disk and all looked like it went fine but still no boot

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I was reconnecting my hard drive, I mistakenly put the jumper in the wrong position and limited the HD capacity to ~30 gigs, so a lot of files went missing and some programs malfunctioned. Then when I figured this out and put it back in the right position, the system wouldn't boot up because"ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupted".

I want to know if it's something I can fix on my own - I dont' know much about computers at all. To get into setup, I have to press F1 from the start up menu. If I don't do that, it takes me to a black screen where it says, Disk Boot Failure, please insert system disk and press enter. I have taken this computer to a repair shop, where I have been charged 200 dollars each time I get this message. Please advise me on what I should do, or if I'm doing something wrong? I have windows XP and it has only one DVD/CD drive, no floppy or anything like that. It started doing it this time when it froze and then I pressed cntrl-alt-delete and got the above error message.

The CD boots fine, but once I have done the initial setup I get a Disk Boot Error every time I restart, unless I manually intervene and again boot from the CD (in which case I can finish the installation and everything works fine, except that I can only boot from the CD).I have done some searching, but although lots of people have had similar problems, I'm not finding a solution that works for me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWell everytime I SHUTDOWN my PC after a while, Lets say 2hours+ I get a "Disk Boot failure - Please insert system disk to continue" message, BEFORE windows loads, Before I started to panic I just restarted my PC and then it seems to boot normaly and quickly, If I leave my PC on Standby for a while, It comes back fine and ready, I play lots of games from my harddrive so I doubt its hardware failure. I have ran virus scans and spyware scans, Im clean. My boot sequence is, Floppy : CD drive : Harddrive : N/A. I dont have a CD in my drive at the time I boot.What is wrong? Why does a simple restart make it function correctly? Is it my boot sequence?
