Disk Boot Error Message

I have installed Vista Ultimate from a 5-CD set on an IBM workstation w/ dual
1GHZ P3 Xeon CPUs: no problem. Next to it is my IBM dual 2.8 P4 Xeon
workstation that I also installed Vista Ult. on from the 5 discs. If I
remove the #1 disk before shutting down, upon booting, after going through
the SCSI set-up, I get a "Disc Error: Press Alt+Ctl+Delete and reboot". If I
insert the disk before rebooting, it boots fine. If I do not, I get an
infinite Alt+Ctl+D sequence. Any idea why the disc MUST be in my DVD drive
and it will not boot from the SCSI hard drive? I am running 3- 73GB SCSI
hard drives: 1 w/ Win 2K Pro; 1 w/ XP Pro; and the 3rd w/ Vista Ult. Only
the Vista Ult. has this problem: each one is on a SEPARATE H.D. (no multiple
partitions to deal with).
 
Hi Thomas,

Usually this happens when the boot sector is corrupted, or is pointing to
the wrong location. What are you using as a boot manager, where is the \boot
folder located, and which drive is active?
