Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk And Press Enter
This is the same statement I have been receiving before the pc attempts to boot.
My Hp Windows Vista is a Pavilon Version 5.14 - . I haven't done anything different and just this morning this statement pops up
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
I took it to my brothers, - removed hard drive- and he has special equipment (software) to test the drive- he couldn't read it - we've determined that the Drive was bad so I picked up a new one Hitachi and installed it. I still get the same Failure statement.
I've checked all wiring and connections look good.
I go to the boot Menu (esc) top of the screen says
==Select a boot first device==
it has HDD Group (Hitachi) First on the list
CD-Rom Group 2nd
I can't move CD-ROM to be first on the list
When I click Enter on it- pc re-boots- so I'm not able to verify if it's first on the list. When I go back to check Boot Menu the Boot Devices are in the same order.
I hit F9 for diagnostics
Testing: Quad Core Processor CPU Test - Passed

Error Code : BIOHD-3
Warning : No bootable drivers detected.
I hit F10

and Network Group are not installed. - I do notice the wires not connected- do these need to be connected?
I tried to give as much info as I can-- Can you please help???
Thank You
