Boot Disk Error Upon Boot Up?
I have a Dilemma. I am getting Boot Disk Error upon boot up. When I went into Recovery console I check to see the contents of the HD and it said 26 files 0 Bites and 120 GB free in C:\Windows. So I deleted the partition and then repartitioned the HD and reinstalled Windows. I was almost done with all my software installation, which took 3 days and now after 2 reboots I am getting boot disk error again. I checked all the cables and they appear to be ok. I have a SATA HD; the motherboard was replaced 1 year ago. When it did boot back up the 2 times after taking things apart and putting them back together it wouldn’t recognize my additional HD and the secondary DVD ROM drive. SO I checked all the cables and connections again and rebooted again and getting the boot disk error and now it wont boot at all. I am thinking that the motherboard controllers are going bad. Can any one give me some more insight on this? I plan on tonight taking a HD from my old stand by server & see if it will boot

You are thinking too far into this. Whenever you troubleshoot a system start with one thing at a time. Configure you’re BIOS to only boot off of the hard disk to see if that resolves your problem.
Check the floppy disk drive to make sure you didn’t leave any disks in there.
Unplug all of your not essential devices and see if that resolves your issue.
You can also try to find a DOS boot disk with the fdisk.exe program and at the commandline type fdisk /mbr to rebuild the master boot record.
Once you switch on your PC, hit the “del” button on the keyboard and check for your first and second boot disks, you’ve got to put the HDD as the first and the DVD-ROM as the second, so if the problem was with the HDD, the pc will boot with a DVD drive “don’t forget to place a DVD or CD rom inside.
Hope this will resolve your dilema.

Have you swapped ports and cables….
It could also be your HDD going bad i would recommend running diagnostics on it.
did u check to see if a floppy is in the floppy drive?
