i just moved my system from my benching rig to my new wood case and now i keep getting an insert system disk error i tried to re install xp but after the formatting i got an error message that the disk could not be formatted. i swapped in a different hdd (the ride to school is a known hdd killer) and tried again now i get windows cant find xxx.dll press esc to skip. the only way i can continue is to skip it but when it finishes loading all the dll's and reboots i still says insert system disk and press enter. the only thing that has changed is i dont have the abit ide cable that came with the board i left it at home on my benching rig and have tried several others any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
