Boot disk failure

[trix0r]

Ok this is really annoying me now. A few days ago I opened up my pc to clean out all the dust etc. Plugged everything back in, started it up and got "boot disk error, please insert system disk". I'm trying to work out exactly what the problem is. I have two hard-drives one 70GB SATA and the other 80GB IDE on a dfi lanparty nforce4 ultra-d. I tried formating and got back into XP. However the next day I restarted the computer and same problem. I've just tried formating again and after the first restart.. same problem. Was just fidling around with the windows setup disk just now... restart and I can now load into XP. So I really don't know whats going on. I've tried messing around with all the bios settings I can so I think its either a faulty HD or something to do with the motherboard bios? Anyway can anyone help?

You sure the BIOS isn't trying to boot from the hard drive that doesn't have windows on it? I'd make sure in the BIOS that the boot drive is actually the proper drive it should be booting from.
