I just did a reinstall of Windows XP and now everytime I restart it says "Boot failure, insert system disk and press enter to continue." I put in the XP Pro disk and away it goes.. Why is this, is there any way around it, putting in the XP disk every time I start the computer is really annoying.

Thanks,
Jbrown

Please read this post

For a piece of crashing software:
Did you try reinstalling the software? I reinstalled windows so yeah.
Have you tried closing down all other applications and simulating the issue? I really can't do that.

For a generally unstable system:
Have you reinstalled Windows? Duh...
Have you run a memory test? (I recommend Memtest86+) My memory is fine..
Have you scanned your hard disk drive for defects? Yepperz...

Windows version and service pack: Windows XP Professional SP2
Processor type, speed and supplemental information: AMD Athlon 1.1GHz Socket A
Motherboard manufacturer and model, Asus A7v400-MX

Include background information: Uhhh, it started after I reinstalled windows... I didn't have this problem before...

Include relevant information: When I put the windows disk in and restart, it boot up fine.

Give an indication of your computer skill: I don't need any advanced descriptions.

Does the system display a warning message or completely reboot without error: It displays the screen I am talking about. It says "Boot failure, insert system disk and press enter to continue."
Does the image freeze or turn black: ?
Does the sound carry on, loop, or stop: Umm there's no sound in the startup until windows starts.
Does the mouse still move, system beep when you press keys or is there no response to input: No system beep only because i have it turned off in the bios. There is response to input.

I fixed it nevermind, the folks at another forum helped me out.

How did you fix it, It could be helpful for other people with that problem.

They probably told the user to run a repair, or reinstall.
