Disk Boot Failure

I get "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter" on my home system. I've formatted the disk and reinstalled windows and I still get the same error. I also cannot get into the BIOS now.

I've run fixboot, fix mbr, chkdsk, and fixboot and discovered no errors.

I'm back to ground one here and any suggestions would be appreciated before I just
go out and get a new hdd.
 
Well I tried installing a new hdd and loaded Windows and I get the same message... so that rules out the HDD.

What is causing this problem? Anyone?
 
Do you have a 3 1/2 floppy drive in the computer? If so is there anything in it?

Also if you have multiple HD's in the system, there is probrably a bios option to organize which HD it boots off of first and you should change that option around.
 
No floppy, that was the 1st thing I checked.

I fixed it though - had to change the new drive to cable select and also change the boot order in the BIOS once I finally figured out you have to press F1 for HP computers.. what a headache.
