Alright well here is what I'm experiencing,
few months ago computer stopped loading windows 7, would get to the loading windows 7 settings screen (just before the log in screen) and would restart.
Bought a hard drive enclouser, reformated the hd (did not format the hd correctly is what it said)
Bought a new hard drive today, unconnected the old hard drive, trying to reformat now with windows vista (yea i know )
Anyways, now i am getting the disk boot failure, i tried switching to sata3 instead of 1 (sata2 is my dvd drive) and still i am getting the same error message.
so far ive invested:
43$ at computer heaven for diagnostic (they said it was a virus.....)
30$ for a hard drive enclosure to hopefully format the first hard drive so i may re install fresh (as the computer would not let me log in to the machine, which is where it wanted to begin the re-install)
44$ for a brand new hard drive (purchased only 1 hour ago) and im getting this Disk boot failure, please insert system disk and press enter.
Would greatly appreciate any help on this.
Machine is :
M3n72-D
M3n78 Pro asus mobo
Amd phenom x4 9500 2.2ghz
8 gigs of ram
2 hard drives (first one is a 750gig) the new one is a 160gig
thanks in advance.
