That is the error message when I boot up my HP. I was having problems. Any key I hit repeats the same error message. Previously before this, I was encountering some partitions issues. So I mounted the HD as a slave drive to my other PC and deleted it under Disk Management. I mounted the drive back and the error message is what I get. The HD is still recognized in the BIOS, but I am unable to boot the CD and install XP. Any ideas on what I should do? > That is the error message when I boot up my HP. I was having problems.

Does the cd boot on another PC? have you enabled boot from CD in the BIOS? --PA Yes, the CD will boot on another PC. Just not this HD that I've obviously messed up. I do have enabled boot from CD in the BIOS. Still, nothing happens but that same error message. >> That is the error message when I boot up my HP.

You did this while it was a slave in the other computer? Enable boot from CD in BIOS (like Paul said).  SignatureDennis S. I''m from Illinois. I hope I helped you.

I deleted from Disk Management because I'm a newbie and didn't know what I was doing. Yes, I deleted while in slave in the other computer. I enabled boot from CD in BIOS and the computer still will not boot off CD. > Why did you delete it from Disk Management? > You did this while it was a slave in the other computer?

Pri master, Pri slave, Sec master, Sec slave Doesn't make sense that can't boot to CD! SignatureDennis S. I''m from Illinois. I hope I helped you. Good Luck. > BIOS did not prompt to boot from CD.

The ribbon and cables are fine. Hardware config is: Primary master: 12 gig HD Secondary is CD ROM 3 1/2 floppy last > Does BIOS recognize your CDROM when booting up? > Check and reseat power and ribbon cable.

Ryan, Are you indicating that this is what your BIOS looks like: Hardware config is: Primary master: 12 gig HD Secondary is CD ROM 3 1/2 floppy last If this is the case, you must have CD ROM as the first device for the system to boot from the CD. Highlight the first boot device and then change the option to CDROM using the page up/page down keys or you may get a drop down menu and then use the arrow keys. Make sure you save the changes before you exit BIOS. Wayne > It seems like the BIOS does not recognize the CDROM when booting up. The > ribbon and cables are fine.

You hardware configuration is "physically" installed with: Primary Master : 12 gig HDD Secondary Master: CDROM etc What does BIOS show when you boot up? Does it show the CDROM? Hit the "Pause Break" key during boot up to pause screen. Hit "Space Bar" to release. You don't have option of another CDROM? SignatureDennis S. I''m from Illinois. I hope I helped you.

Just wanted to say all is fixed after realizing that the headers were not configured back to master after swapping the drive. > You hardware configuration is "physically" installed with: > Primary Master : 12 gig HDD [quoted text clipped - 56 lines] >> >> >> >> >> >> Any ideas on what I should do? Do you mean the jumpers (pins) on the drive. If you dont use the proper terms no-one knows what yer talking about. > Just wanted to say all is fixed after realizing that the headers were > not configured back to master after swapping the drive.
