I've been having this error even after reformatting and reinstalling Windows 7 on my desktop. I've done reformatting / reinstalling Windows 7 several times, yet the problem still occurs. I'm thinking of my HDD as being corrupted or messed up. The problem occurred after I accidentally hit the CPU when I was stretching my foot. The screen froze after that. Upon rebooting it, 'Disk boot failure, Insert system disk and press enter' occurs. After I entered the DVD installer of Windows 7, the screen just hangs. How can this be fixed? 
hello..how many times you're already reinstall the OS??
i ever seems same issue on my office. the first is run well.but can't hold out until 3 days. so i tried reinstalled again and still got same issue. after that. i try to change the hdd. and is run well, cause hdd is have bad sectors and can't be kept the files anymore.

Hello dothackjhe, welcome to Seven Forums!
Find the manufacturer of the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) at the link below and run a diagnostic on the HDD to see if there are issues.

When you said you kicked the "CPU" did you actually mean the processor or something else?

There is indeed a problem with the HDD. T_T After undergoing diagnostic test with the hardware, the HDD was shown as the root cause of the problem. I can't seem to start the PC without having the need to insert the install disc for Windows 7. T_T Is there any way I could fix this HDD, like reformatting it to a factory setting? There really seems to be a bad sector in the HDD. T_T

I was able to reinstall Windows 7 without freezing the screen. But after shutting it down and turning it on, the same error occurred again. I got it running (but not fixed) by using the command prompt in the Windows 7 install disc and have it check for any errors at startup --- HDD was the root cause. T_T
Have you moved the connecting cables for the HDD around recently?
Were there no repair tools you could use for your HDD at the link I posted?

The main root of the problem started when the PC won't boot. I placed the RAM to the other slot thinking the slot where it was placed is busted. The PC booted after moving the RAM stick to other slot. Then I decided to dual boot Windows 7 Ultimate with our old copy of Windows XP SP3. I was able to install both OS in different partitions. I used a 3rd party software to fix the boot manager for XP. XP is working just fine after, but 7, on the other hand, randomly freezes (probably due to problems with the registry). 7's boot can't be fixed after its last freeze so I decided to reformat the HDD to give way for a full install on Windows 7 Ultimate alone. Then I learned that Windows 7 has a 'Windows XP Mode' that would be run in a virtual box under Windows 7 itself. Everything was just fine when the PC hanged again. After several reformat-reinstall of OS attempts and a sudden little impact on the back of the PC, I've been having a 'disk boot failure error'.
I'll go check if there's any repair tool that will work on this HDD from the link you've provided.
I'm currently downloading the Disc Wizard Setup for my Seagate SATA HDD. .
I hope it helps you out.
I don't think there's any from the tools provided that will fix the problem. The Disc Wizard Setup for Seagate HDD only gives the option to create backup and image restore, create bootable media, manage image backups, and clone disc. Is there any software out there that will fix the bad sector of a HDD?
i think not..because the problem not cause by the software but cause by the physical HDD,
i suggest you to slave your hdd to the other PC and backup your data as much as you can (as you need) and then you can buy a new one hdd.
even what software can make it run. but that's cause by bad sector and is the physical of the hdd so difficult to fix it permanent.

You want Seatools Diagnostics from Seagate: SeaTools Seagate
Burn to CD, boot and run the full scan followed by Disk Check

Update: I was able to run a short generic test with the HDD, and it passed the test. Long generic test failed -- probably caused by a bad sector in the HDD.
Are you booting the CD version? Did you run Disk Check from Win7 DVD command line?

Go back to the SeaGate website.
This time download Seagate Tools for DOS.
burn the downloaded .iso file to a CD. Simply click on the file and Win 7 will prompt you to insert a cd/dvd into the cd drive.
After successful completion of the burn,
put the cd into the cd drive and boot to the CD Drive.
Run the test.

Good to see you have it sorted and thanks for the update.
good to hear it..
It's still a good idea to run Seatools along with the Chkdsk. They can work together to extend the life of a failing HD, or tip you that it may fail soon.
I think HDD I think is already starting to fail on me. It won't boot again after freezing. -____-
Did you run the Seatools diag/repair CD scan yet?
How many times do I need to explain that this will save your HD if it is failing? It may be too late now.
If Seatools won't see it, then try Disk Check again from booted Win7 DVD or Repair CD.
Back up your files first.

however we know hdd is a electronic and also can broken, physically hdd can fail, so you must remember all the time.. ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES.
i suggest to backup your files and move to the other hdd.

Confirm that Seatools CD is booting and working correctly by trying it on another computer or burning another CD.
If booted Seatools CD doesn't see the HD then try running DIsk Check from DVD Command line again, then try Seatools again.
Try another HD to see if problems go away.
Does the HD register correctly in BIOS? What is the SATA controller setting? Change cables.

Then try different ports and cables. Change boot order accordingly in BIOS setup. While there check for SATA controller settings.
This computer is still under its warranty. I'd go to the shop where I bought this and have them fix things for me. I'll update the outcome based on their findings. .
Do be sure to post back what they found.

Sorry it took me a while again to post the result. The problem got fixed after replacing the serial ata of the HDD with a new one. I'm no longer experiencing freezes in this PC.

i find it weird about this disk boot error bcoz my cos had the same problem, so i got a 500gb for him. his old hdd i took it home & testing the 320gb hdd. until today, that hdd is working on my pc. so how can it be that the hdd got bad sector, but when i'm using win 7, i never get any error.
pls help me out here.
now, the 500 gb is already giving the disk boot error. hopefully it doesn't attack my 1TB.

You can repair HD's by a combination of chkdsk /r run from Windows or the DVD/Repair CD if necessary, and the maker's diag/repair full CD scan.
Chkdsk repairs the file system, CD repair scan does surface repairs - they work in tandem and should be run together, and repeated after one finds errors to repair.
