Thumbs down hangup on save and exit BIOS
I've just built a new system, and it switches on and i can get in to BIOS all fine and everything seems to be in order (drives detected etc). However when i try to save and exit it just hangs on the screen and i have to manually restart. Although it seems to have saved my settings the next time i start up.
Then i can't start installing XP as it comes up with the error message "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER", it then hangs if i press enter.
This second problem could be something completely unrelated, but any help with the first bit would be gratefully recieved.

cheers,
Tom

The second problem sounds like you don't have the HDD or any other bootable device attached or properly enabled. Regarding the BIOS, its not something you can fix other than get a new ROM chip. If its bad, I'd just RMA the board.
