ever since i had an internal hd installed IVE been having start up problems where in the start up process i eventually get an error saying "disk boot failure, insert system disk and hit enter." i went to the people that installed the hd but the computer WORKED fine there; and they had no idea what i was talking about. sometimes it gives me the error message and sometimes not. i WOULD have to unplug the new internal hd to get it working again sometimes.

but now, after i tried to put ANOTHER mouse on the comp, the comp froze and now it gives me the same disk boot failure message every time, even when i do unplug the internal hd.

*censored* IS GOING ON!?

thanx for any helpDoes anyone else have access to the computer?
They could be leaving a floppy in the drive from time to time.i appreciate the help fed, but c'mon.... no floppy disk is ever used ... but, the floppy drive does make a "sound" like the comp is trying to boot it or do something with it whne the error message COMES up, so the floppy may be a problemyou can disable floppy seek at boot in the BIOS, but I don't think that would help much. Maybe a bad or POORLY connected hard disk cable could be something to look at. Sure sounds like you have hardware troubles.

Maybe whoever put in your drive plugged the

floppy drive ribbon cable in backwards if they


removed that cable while working on your computer.
