I just reinstalled XP pro and everything is working great....except the fact that I cannot boot from my drive that I installed xp on. It says DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.

The only way I can boot is if I have the XP pro cd in and the BIOS boots from cd. Before I did this, I just had it set to boot from SATA.
Anybody know WTF is going on, and how to fix it?
 
have you set primary boot drive to HD?

if so, it's not recognizing your HD. try a different sata or ide cable or different connector on your mobo and make sure your master/slave jumpers are right.

just a thought...
