Default "Disk Boot Failure"

After my initial POST and setting my CD/DVD drive as the first drive to boot to, I Keep getting this message, "Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk And Press Enter."

I tried putting my MB driver disk, the DVD-ROM disk, and even my burnt copy of vista. It then checks the drive and repeats the same message.

What is it looking for? Or, is my MB not reading the drive?

the master boot record is messed up probably. Youd have to repair it with a windows installation disk.

The master boot record on the disk? I'm totally new to this.

All of my disks were burnt copies and no it didn't recognize any of them. I have an actual "real" Vista from newegg on its way in frustration.

My friend is also coming over tonight to see if we can create a "bootable" version that my disk drive will recognize.

I'm hoping its the disks and not a hardware issue.

Just out of curiosity, was the "burnt copy of vista." (sic) burned with an iso burning program, or a copy of an iso?

I think it might have been a copy of an ISO. I used ImgBurn at first but don't think I did it right. My friend came over, installed NERO, created the ISO vista disk and it booted right up!

I have yet to finish the install process though. It keeps saying windows isn't recognizing hardware when its time to select which HD to install it on.

1. make sure all plugs are in, HDD, and DVD rom
2. take cmos battery out for 3 mins, put it back it
3. boot it up, go to bios, switch primary boot device to dvdrom, seconday to harddrive
4. restart the system after you exit/save and make sure your Vista disk is in

lemme know if this gets around the issue?
