I am having an issue when my system boots up in Win XP Pro. If I have the
XP Pro cd inserted it will boot up, recognize cd and then go on to boot off
hard drive. If XP cd not inserted, system will not boot from hard drive. I
have tried using the recovery console with fixmbr, fixboot to no avail and
have even tried re-installing system. This has occurred on two machines I
have bilt from scratch with brand new hard drives. Any clues on how to
approach fixing this issue??

In BIOS is 1st c: 2st a: 3st CDROM

I have Seagate Baracuda 80GB NTFS
