Hello,
My problem is that my computer(windows XP) keeps restarting. I turn it on and then after a while it restarts. After it restarts it will say:"DISK BOOT FAILURE". When I restart it myself, it doesn't want to ON anymore.
I have asked my friends about this problem some said I need a new hard disk...but I'm not sure, so i need your help ASAP.

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.10

Hi,
it may be that the IDE cable is faulty.
get it replaced and try again.
