    Disk Boot Failure

    Now I get:

    DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

    It won't boot even if I place an Ubuntu DVD in there. My two DVD drives were being recognized before I put it in the power supply which has:

    20-pin ATX Main Power Connector
    ATX12V Power Connector (cube)
    1 4-pin Floppy Drive
    Connector
    3 4-pin Molex Peripheral Connectors

    Please review my installation:

    From the power supply the Main Power Connector is connected to the motherboard, 2 4-pin Molex Connectors, that are connected to each other, plug into the two DVD drives. One 4-pin Molex Connector goes to a SATA Y-Adapter which goes to an SATA hard drive and an IDE hard drive.

    What am I missing?

    re: DISK BOOT FAILURE

    I was facing same problem, and the solution for me was connecting my HDD to another PC as slave device , taking all backup and deleting all partitions formatting it. and repartitioning it with windows 98 cd (You can use something else like partition magic)after re-connecting on my pc . Hope this will help.

    That PC worked now. It turned out that there was a loose ribbon into the SATA hard drive. The DVD drives still are being recognized.
