I have a home built computer that I've had for just under a year. Today it won't boot. Starts first by checking the memory, then briefly displaying "Verifying DMI Pool data..." followed quickly by DISK BOOT FAILURE. No floppy, checked my SATA drive on another computer to make sure it still worked (it did) so that's not the problem. EVGA 680sli motherboard, intel Core2Duo 1.8Ghz. I'm stuck because I don't know what to check/do next. If anyone could help guide me to finding the problem it'd be very much appreciated. Thanks

Oh yeah, and the motherboard is not recognizing any of the drives. Reports no floppy(correct) no hard disk.

Go into cmos/bios setup and make sure the drives are properly identified--usually as AUTO--and that the controllers are enabled.
