Will not boot from the right hdd

tnjfitzy · Feb 26, 2009

Hi everyone,

I have 3 hdd's 2 sata and 1 ide and the sata is not in raid they are just seperate drives. But the problem is i done a reformat and installed vista to my 400gb sata and it all installed with no problem but when I restarted the computer it said DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK. So i went to bios to make sure the 400gb sata was the main hdd like in boot order and all that but still wouldnt load. So I went back into bios changed it from the 400gb sata to the IDE drive and now it boots like normal but the ide hdd has nothing on it only like music and pics and that stuff(it is just for storage).
Any ideas why it would be doing that??
