Thanks fsb_user, but that did not work still got to the same part in the boot
process. (DISK BOOT FAILURE,INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER).
I Have now also tried a new hard drive and i am now going to flash my bios and
use the newest bios and see how that goes, if anyone else has any answers i
would be grateful
Thanks
Nigel
