Boot Issue

Start the computer with the WXP CD in the CD-ROM drive and, press any key,
when the installation process makes a pause press "R" and select OS with 1
and enter, type the administrator password, and once in C:\WNDOWS\ type
FIXBOOT and restart the computer. If that does not solve it, repeat the
Recovery Console and copy the boot sector files from the XP CD as follows:



To copy and renew the boot sector files from the Windows XP CD

After the admin password type COPY D:\ [In which D:\represents the letter
that corresponds to the CD-ROM) So copy the three next files to renew the
boot sector. So begin with: copy D:\ i386\NTLDR C:\ Then copy
D:\i386\NTDETECT.COM C:\ and copy D:\i386\Boot.ini C:\

Alanh:

I know this was over a year ago, but I am having the exact same problem. My
system is working fine, then freezes for no reason and when I try to reboot,
get the same error message; disk boot failure .... If I let it sit for about
10 minutes it will eventually reboot correctly and all is fine until the next
time it freezes. Did you ever get any kind of resolution to this problem?
Please let me know.

Thanks,

pb
