| DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
Hello, I had been using a Seagate 160 gb harddrive for some time. It eventually got full so i went ahead and bought a Maxtor 6V300F0 300GB SATA II 7200rpm 16MB Hard Drive. I used norton ghost 10.0 to copy my file from the 160 to the 300 because i was too lazy to reinstall everything. Ghost completed the copy succesfully, but when i put the SATA harddrive BY ITSELF into the motherboard i get this Verifyin DMI pool data... DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER. My boot sequence is at hd, cd, floppy. I have 0 sata drivers or anything of the sort. I don't have raid setup, and it recognizes the drives.
EDIT: I MAY ALSO WANT TO MENTION MY BOOT DEVICES ARE LABELED HARD DRIVE INSTEAD OF HDD-0 LIKE IT USED TO. but my startup bios recognizes the maxtor drive. EDIT 2: crap now i really screwed up the bios, it doesn't recognize my cds or floppys. this will be a long day
I even tried to repair windows xp by recopying all of the files, which i also succesfully did. Can anyone help? I c acn't get you my specs at the moment if you need then but i will try to if anyone requests it for their input. i"Ll try ot make a non accurate specs thing.
Windows XP Pro w/SP2
3GB ddr ram
450W ps
radeon x700 pro 256 mb
abit an8 SLI motherboard
160 gb seagate and
Maxtor 6V300F0 300GB SATA II 7200rpm 16MB Hard Drive

Since you don't have SATA drivers, and the old drive was ATA, correct?, the motherboard probably can't recognize the drive.
Or, you could have a bad drive, but I don't think so.
Check all connections.

I"ve been thinking it's my jumper settings, but my hard drive paper cover doesn't mention the settings for it. i've been just totally removing the jumper and putting it as the only hdd on the motherboard and getting the error. maybe if i could get some jumper settings i could fix it.
I heard that some moboard are sata I only and that these SATA II hard drives have SATA I jumper settings. I was going to do that but i don't hae teh settings.

Have you fed it the appropriate drivers for the SATA drive?
