Re: windows message disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter no hard dri
Is the drive SATA or IDE?

The first thing I would do is remove both the data and power cables from the hard drive and the data cable from the motherboard as well.

Then reinsert the connections.

If this fails try moving the data cable from the DVD/CD drive to the hard drive.

Also try to note if the hard drive appears to get power. Spins up etc. Or does it appear lifeless?

Anyway those would be my first steps.
