Solve : Disk Boot Failure Error? |
|
Answer» Hi Im currently building a computer for my car.....Ive got all the parts including an IDE solid state Hard Drive. I try to install windows xp using an external USB disk drive but I get the Disk Boot Failure Error....checked the Bios and replaced the Boot from usb floppy drive with usb Disk Drive....STILL nothing....can anybody help??? Are you sure everything is hooked up correctly? using an external USB disk drive Does the MBoard support booting from a USB device ? ? If not you need to use an internal optical drive to boot to the XP CD. Have you set the external to be the first boot device in the BIOS ? ? The error message is because the hard drive is EMPTY...That is the one thing I was wondering just if it was capable....the bios are set to boot from usb cd rom first and cd rom second....I do plan on trying it on an internal optical today.If it lists USB CDRom then it supports it... Perhaps this is a LESS than genuine XP CD ? ? Try another CD you know is bootable...If it's Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and press Enter, doesn't it mean there is a problem with the hard drive itself?

No ...not if the drive is empty as there's no bootsector.
