Disk boot failure on startup, insert system disk and press enter

Yes, I agree with @doctore, remember to be careful with the CMOS battery when putting it back, pay attention to the + and – signs. After putting the battery in, press the power button of the PC for 15 seconds to discharge any remaining power stored in the capacitors. By discharging the power, the CMOS memory will reset, therefor should reset the BIOS.

If that doesn't work, your other option would be to check the SSD on another system (PC) and see if it boots there.
If it doesn't work then too, the SSD is most probably dead, I'm sorry.

Yes here's a pic of my SSD and HDD cables.

I did what you said with the cmos battery and it come up with cmos error and I chose my dad's profile he made of the bios and it's going to the disk failure screen again.. I will have to get my dad to look at it, but I think the SSD has died on me.

I've come to a conclusion, I used the power and sata cables from the Hard drive and tested it on the SSD and it just wasn't picking it up at all. I did have a few similar issues with this Zalman f1 when the pc was first built. It sometimes came up with loading operating system before the windows screen and it would stay there, restarts fixed that problem until it never showed up again. Overall it was a good SSD card while it lasted as it gave maximum performance for my OS. Sadly it was only two years old..

Hi again!

I am sorry for this, seems really like the SSD has died. This is what happens with hardware and technology, they're built to withstand as long as possible but are very delicate and sometimes break sooner than we think.

I hope you don't encounter such a problem again, good luck for the future!
