Aug 29, 2006I 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

Jan 19, 2009I have just recently gotten a new computer which came with Vista. Previously what I have done with any new operating system I got was installed it into my old computer. However, I came to find out you can only have one computer assigned to each cd, unless I wanna buy another one, which is unecessary. I wanted to get rid of Vista and return to XP but the XP disc would not install because of multiple errors, such as missing ntldr.
View 14 Replies View RelatedNo Boot: - Could Not Read The Selected Boot Disk
Jan 4, 2005because mine won't boot. I get the message: "Windows didn't start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your reference manuals for additional information." Well, that sort of thing is beyond me. But first, my system and how I got into this mess:
Trying to get rid of the screen that prompts you on boot-up to select an OS and counts down the seconds, I went from My Computer>Properties>Advanced and unchecked the first box, the one that has a place to the right where you say how many seconds to display the OS choice. I had changed that choice to "0" many times, but eventually the choice screen always came back, so I got the idea of unchecking the whole box. Then--I forget exactly which part of Properties this was in--I found the two OSs listed. They were the same, except that the one that was selected had a few words after it that began with "No"--maybe "No selection"? (This problem of having to make a choice on boot-up started when the computer was new and something went wrong and a Dell technician had me reinstall the OS.) I thought maybe I could get rid of the annoyance by selecting the other OS, and did it.....

View 1 Replies View RelatedUltimate Boot Disk On CD
May 7, 2009I just bought a hard drive to replace the small hard drive in my computer. I want to clone the old hard drive onto the new one. I found some very good directions on how to do this on the Internet and it says I need ultimate boot disk on a CD. I downloaded the ultimate boot disk to my computer and put the file on a CD. This is where I think I run into trouble. When I double-click on the file to expand it, it wants to install itself on the computer. Is that what it is supposed to do? I was expecting it to expand itself on the CD. I guess what I am asking is if it should expand on this CD, or do I have to install it on one of the hard drives when I am doing the cloning process? I hope somebody on here understands what I am trying to explain.

Aug 2, 2005A storm knocked out my hard drive (through a surge protector). Dell sent me a replacement and I installed Windows XP on it. I hooked up my old hard drive to try to rescue stuff and, for a few hours, was able to see the corrupted old hard drive because, at one point during the evening among many reboots, the system did a diagnostic on the drive where it repaired sectors and index files, etc. Eventually I could not see the hard drive any more and I don't know how to get these diagnostics to run again since the drive is not even recognized as being there.

I'm not sure what to imput in order to get the boot disk to run. I've tried to direct it to the disk drive and the filename of the ISO file on the boot disk, but does not recognize it.
