Currently building a new PC for the son. It's an Athlon 2000Xp with a biostar M7VIF Award Bios Motherboard.
The trouble is, is that it refuses to boot from the Hardisk a 20Gb Maxstor 9201U4, but when I boot from floppy I can see the contents of the hard disk.
I've formatted the disk using the /s switch and it's currently partitioned with 2039Mb FAT Primary partition and a 17GB Fat32 one.
Everything is set up to autodetect, and the PC correctly sees the harddisk and CDROM in the bios.
I've tried using a different hardisk and formatting that in the same way, but I still get the DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER message.
This has got me stumpted any ideas?
