I have two 250GB Seagate SATA harddrives in my system. For some reason I can't boot up in one of them.

The first drive I've had for a while and I have XP Pro installed on it. The second one is a brand new one that also has XP Pro installed. Now, when I try to boot from the new drive, I get a 'Disk Boot Failure' error message and when I boot from the older one I get to choose between the two drives. I tried repairing my drive with the XP cd but it says I don't have any drives in my system so I downloaded Seagates SeaTools and booted from it and it also tells me that it can't find any drives.

Do I have some kind of weird virus or is there something wrong with my motherboard?

PS. I swapped out my cables and it didn't change anything.

Any help?
