    System wont start after connecting IDE dvd drive


    Hi all,

    I am totally stuck on trying to find a solution to my proplem.

    I bought a used hp tower with twin xeon dual core processors a few months ago. It was a great machime but only has dvd rom.
    I wanted to burn a disc but couldnt, so I tool my old ISE Dvd drive out of my old computer, bought new only about 1year ago.
    I insterted it and a screen came up say that my system configuration had changed and press F1 to accept the changes.
    I did this and then it faild to boot!!!

    I have removed the dvd drive and tried again but the same, will not boot.

    I then removed the original dvd drive and you guessed it, still wont boot.

    I have run windows repair but nothing.

    How can I get it to boot without reinstalling? I only have 1 hard drive (sata) and stupidly havent done a backup (doh!!)

    Please help
