Hey,
Right recently my brother's OS messed up, so I formatted his drive, and attempted to reinstall vista from a CD. When I got to the place of installing the drive, it didn't show up, and when I scanned I was told to insert device drivers, but I don't have any discs for the hard drive, so i passed. I then connected the drive to my machine, and installed vista without troubles, booted onto that disc from my machine to make sure it worked, and hey presto, it worked.
So then I reconnect the drive to my brothers machine, And I am faced with the error "Disk boot failure, Insert disc and press enter". I don't know why this problem happens. I am also pretty sure that the BIOS is not picking up the drive, as when I went to hard drive priority, it wasn't in the list. Also when I connected my own drive to the machine, I had no luck still.
I really don't know what I can do to resolve this issue so any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Ben
