Hi all, I had to fit a new identical PSU after the previous one failed. Now i keep getting a 'disc boot failure' notice every time i start up. I have got around this but i would prefer to know why this is happening....

It could be a coincidence but last Monday evening i heard a noise like a football (or even a bird) hitting my window. The next morning my computer wouldn't start!!! At the time my computer was off.

I am running a desktop pc, Foxconn motherboard, XP3 SP3. Before the PSU went bad i had updated Windoze and updated my drivers through Driver Scanner.....and the system worked fine.

To get around the current problem i checked the Bios and it shows to boot from my C drive but startup seems to ignore that. So i have to press Esc and in the Boot menu tell it which drive to boot from...the system then loads and works from there. I did remove my c drive at one stage and test it in another pc and it booted no problem so i am a bit perplexed as to why this is happening now.....

Any suggestions please?

Cheers

Check in the BIOS for boot priority (or similar) and make sure that the correct drive is selected first.

Ah, once again you came to the rescue T0k3n Thank You!

I had already looked in the Bios but obviously i didn't look properly!!

I found the CDDVDW had been changed to boot up and soon had it resolved...

I feel a bit of an idiot, should have been more thorough in the first place Annoyed or Unimpress

Cheers, Martin
