wxsx Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 So I had two Window's on my computer. I wanted to remove every single application, every single thing, including OS systems and re-install them.So I downloaded DBAN and selected WIPE in there, as format didn't help me before. So, it always crashes at 10% and even when I go to BIOS menu and select that it would disable booting from CD DVD it still shows me"DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" even when I insert XP or Vista CD it shows that. It doesn't show it with DBAN disk..How do I repair my computer? Please I need a quick help. How do I make fresh install of VISTA then? It doesn't boot at al. When I turn on my computer it only shows GeForce… Copyright and computer's name and thenVerifying DMI Pool DataBoot From CD :DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER Would restoring help? Is it possible to restore in BIOS menu ? )My boot devices are:First Boot Device HDD-0SEcond Boot Device HDD-1Third Boot Device HDD-1 ( I copy pasted from other Windows forum, because I got banned, because I got only Windows key with me, which is on the computer and there's an other key on my father's laptop, which is Vista's, but he uses linux, so I don't see that how's that pirated then, but please help me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
