| 663264 | 2008-04-28 03:47:00 | Did you change the bootdisk in the BIOS, to the hdd thats got something on it?? And configure/reconfigure the BIOS? And does the CPU and mobo match what was in the case before?? If there's an operating system on one of the hdd's? If they dont, it'll probably crash, if you do manage to boot into Windows, until you do a repair |

| 663266 | 2008-04-28 04:33:00 | What was in the case (before you put this new CPU and mobo in it)?? It sounds like (since theres an OS on a hdd), there was a previous mobo and CPU. What I mean is, if the new CPU and mobo (isnt the same as the previous mobo and CPU, or are they?), it may crash, since the hdd with the OS will have different drivers etc, to whats on the new mobo. |

| 663269 | 2008-04-28 07:02:00 | All very well, but that error message is coming from the BIOS code, before anything to do with OSs has been executed. The BIOS is not complaining that it can't find a valid boot block; it's complaining that it can't read a disk. That's a lower level error. |
