| | Disk Boot Failure, Insert system disk and press enter Well I am just down to one issue with Vista 64. I can not boot to any OS with out the Vista DVD in the drive. If I do not have it in it will look at my CD roms and then I get this error message: "Disk Boot Failure, Insert system disk and press enter" I have to put in the disk and just reboot to get the OS menu screen to choose Vista or XP64. I do have vistaboot Pro and what I have I have posted below. CAn anyone help me fix this issue. Right now I have all my hardware working I am realy liking Vista. Last week I installed Vista on the same HD as XP 64 and I had a bad system crash. I had Nvida drivers kill it and some how even screwed up my XP install. Both were taking 15+ min to boot up. they were on different partions so I have no idea what happend. Vista is a beta so I back up everything for just incase this happend. So this weekend I cleaned both HD. When I did my install I did XP 64 first and then Vista 64. XP 64 is on a IDE while Vista is on a SATA. I am not sure if I have a BIO setting issue or a MS problem. It has been driving me nuts. Can anyone please help me on this? There are a total of 2 OSes installed into the boot manager. Current timeout before default boots: 10 seconds. Default OS: Microsoft Windows Entry #1 Name: Earlier version of Windows BCD ID: {ntldr} Boot Drive: D: Windows Drive: System Bootloader: \ntldr Windows Directory: Entry #2 Name: Microsoft Windows BCD ID: {current} Boot Drive: C: Windows Drive: C: System Bootloader: \Windows\system32\winload.exe Windows Directory: \Windows AMD 3400+ NewCastle DFI Lan Party UT NF 250GB Version 6.00 PG 05/04/2005 2x Ultra 512MB PC3200 DDR 400MHZ BFG GeForce 6800 OC Windows XP Pro 64bit TDK DRDRW0404N No Name CDRW Aspire X-Navigator Aluminum Case |

| | Re: Disk Boot Failure, Insert system disk and press enter Which disk drive is the BIOS set to boot from? Since it's failing, set the BIOS to boot from the other disk.

| | Re: Disk Boot Failure, Insert system disk and press enter Thanks that fixed it. I guess for Vista you must have IDE first in the prority. I had my SATA first before and that worked fine with XP64. Thanks for your help |
