This is the first PC i have fully built myself! Problem i have when i turn on it goes to post no probs, get a screen that lists a load of info and at the bottom says DISK BOOT FAILURE\INSERT SYSTEM DISK i then put in my XP disc the cd crive fires up but i only get a flashing cursor at top of the screen and not the “press any button” as usual -HELP- anybody got any ideas? This is tha first time ever used a forum so am a bit green.

Make sure that you configure the BIOS so your PC boots from your CD drive. PS. Make sure you put the disc in and then reboot it.

You will also have to install drivers for your SATA HD, press F6 when the windows cd boot s.
