Boot failure after BIOS flash

Jamescracker, on Wednesday March 12, 2008 10:41:07 AM

Hello,
I recently started experiencing BSOD's on my PC and in the process of trying to fix this I have decided to flash my BIOS.
I flashed it but now when I start my PC I get the message "disk boot failure, insert system disk..."
I suspect the problem is coming from the fact that I have a dual boot system that let me choose Vista or XP, and that for some reason, the new BIOS does not recognize it.
I have NO CLUE on how I could solve this.
XP was installed first on C drive, then Vista on a separate physical drive.

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

There should be a second bios setting for changing the sequence of just the hard drives.If the bios "sees" the second HDD correctly, it will be in the boot device order area. ie; Floppy. CDROM, HDD1, HDD2, etc.
