    sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum guys, i havent been here in a while
    i really need some help with my pc.
    i built it a few days ago with some new parts i bought off the internet and a couple of parts from my old dell dimension 5150
    i set it all up nicely ready to install vista, everything is connected as it should be, it powers on fine, but then a black screen comes up saying 'DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER'.
    i have put the windows vista disk in that i am trying to install in, and the motherboard disk in, and neither do anything. i put the HDD in my brothers computer and it showed in his pc, but then i put it in the next day and it didnt show.
    it also doesnt show in my BIOS, but when i run ASUS EZ flash it shows there.
    before i put the disk into my new pc i formatted it with active@killdisk
    i hope to hear from you soon,
    thanks guys

    Why did you format it with anything other than Windows?

    Speak the truth hussy!

    You did set it to boot from the CD in the BIOS right?
