Answer» I have a HP Desktop when turning power on it reads "Disk Boot Failure"
It has Windows Vista loaded on it.
It has the following DVD Drive Writer Model TS-H653.
What originally happened was the DVD/CD Drive was open, I had to quickly leave (I am a firefighter) and I hit the drive that was sticking out and bent it. I THOUGHT I had it fixed but when I turned it BACK on it said "Disk Boot Failure" .I tested it and it says No Drives Detected.
Any suggestions on what might be wrong. Should I try replacing the entire DVD/CD Drive or would this problem be with something else. I checked everything I could think of as far as INTERNAL connections. Am I missing something?
Sorry, I am far from a computer genius. Just trying to figure it out.
Thanks, DarrenYou could have damaged the DVD writer internally so it is somehow affecting the disk CONTROLLER on the MOTHERBOARD. You could try disconnecting it completely and see what happens. The disk boot failure might be a coincidence.
