Home Built Computer won't boot system disk
I've just built a system and it powers up but prompts me to insert the system disk. When I do so it replies "disk boot faillure, insert system disk and press enter." Which I do and it gives me the same message. I'm using the disk that came with the mother board. Any ideas? I don't know where to go from here and it's getting frustrated.

If you are inserting the motherboard driver disk it probably wont boot with that. You will need an OS disk. Have you loaded and OS yet?

You need to set the CD ROM as first boot device in the BIOS and boot from an OS install disc.
