boot disk failure when trying to boot to which drive? optical or hdd?

Check that the drives (both optical and hdd) are recognised in the bios, I presume you used the same locations on the cables for the drives so that changing jumpers is not required, yes??

If it's the optical drive, check all plugs and cables are securely pushed home. If you still have troubles try another (IDE??? you don't say if it is IDE or SATA) cable.

If it is the hdd try the same, check plugs, different cable.

I assume you have checked there is no floppy disk in the floppy drive (assuming your pc even has a floppy drive)

Let us know what the results are.
