Help needed with this "Disk Boot Failure" Error Msg

Reconfigure the bios. Specifically, change the boot order.

i have also set the primary boot device as Hard disk. But still the error occurs

may b the hard disk not connected properly
or the hard disk got corrupted

Check in BIOS whether hard disk is detected or not.

Hi all,

I got this msg "Disk boot failure" after i replaced my old motherboard with a new gigabyte motherboard. Do i need to install a fresh os or i need configure the bios?
Plz help me to solve this issue

first check BIOS if HDD is detected ...if its there then there is no problem with HDD and if u still get the same error message u will need to install the OS again ...cos OS doesn't know ur mobo is changed

I have repaired the XP OS and my system boots but only with the help of OS CD. I tried to boot xp w/o the OS cd but ended with same error msg "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT A START UP DISK",Also my motherboard takes much time to get past the devices listing (almost 5 mins) and finally it asks "boot from cd:" and then boots up
