- Disk Boot Failure: Installing new DVD drive
- Posted by Nardo Polo on November 4th, 2005
I have a laptop and recently purchased a Pioneer DVR-K05 DVD-RW to replace
the old CD-RW. The problem is a strange one. When I install the drive
whilst the laptop is switched off I get the "Disk Boot Failure, Insert System
Disk And Press Enter" message when I power up. If I install the drive whilst
windows is running it is detected and functions fine even after a restart.
Why is the system stable until I switch off, and what can I do to resolve the
problem?

The answer is likely to be found in the BIOS.

Laptop drives are more complex to replace than normal desktop. You need to
know how this slim drive is set up (Master?Slave/Cable Select) and check how
the "old" one was set up.
For more info/help, you should check on www.rpc1.org.
