Unhappy Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk & Press Enter

Hi.

Please refer to Phez-boys: I need a system disk that works! thread. I think HippyWarlock knows the answer.

Basically I keep getting (on boot) the error message: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK & PRESS ENTER. My bios isn't recognising my hard disks but is recognising my DVD drives.

Before crashing into a state of complete failure, i ran Norton Sysworks and it all seemed pretty bad. Last error message received before collapse was BACKUP EVERYTHING or something like that but then just shutdown.

I find it hard to believe that both hard disks a screwed because one is brand new and hasn't really been used.

I have tried to update my bios as recommened by a thread somewhere but this hasn't worked and hasn't really seemed to do anything.

I have seen a product called 'Hard Drive Mechanic' that reckons it can fix the problem. Can anyone please help me!
