Disk Boot Failure !

Hi there everyone !

My desktop is having a problem with booting up. I have tried changing to a new HDD, changing the Serial ATA cable, changing the BIOS setting so that the first to be boot-ed is the CD-ROM (which I do have an original XP disc with me) but all this is still not helping!!!

Everytime i start up the machine, it would pass through the motherboard setup page and then it hits the "Disk Boot Failure" page. Ive tried putting in the XP disc to reformat the new HDD and try to get out of the Disk Boot Failure page but it would not budge !

The BIOS has not be touched before this problem arise nor has it been updated to the best of my knowledge. I'm all out of idea and I hope some experts can enlighten me on this issue.

I have read the response from the other threads but since I am not really familiar with fixing computers I have only done the usual steps when a person encounters this prob. All help is very much appreciated !
