I just got done assembling my new upgrade and it works all fine and dandy, but after it displays the logo screen, it goes into a black screen with the CPU speed and all that stuff along with a list of all the peripherals. Then like 5 seconds later, it displays a message at the bottom saying "Disk Boot Failure, Enter System Disk and press enter to continue". I dont know if that means that it dosent recognize the HDD or something else?

Please help.

Also, i went into the bios and it said that it recognized that there was an HDD in, but it didnt have the capacity of it.
 
did you add another hd or replace the one you had? it means that there is no OS detected on whatever drive is currently selected as master
 
Make sure the drive is actually enabled in the bios. Also, make sure it is set to be a boot device as well. It is possible that the drive is being detected but you may have it disabled in the boot order.
Also, make sure the drive is hooked up to a bootable port on the motherboard, some mother boards include none bootable sata ports.
If that doesn't work you may need to reinstall your OS.
