=
= "Searching for boot record from IDE-0...OK
=
= INVALID SYSTEM DISK
=
= REPLACE THE DISK, AND THEN PRESS ANY KEY."
=
= how can i solve this problem anyone. thanks

More than likely the hard drive has been damaged somehow - check with
diagnostic software and BIOS settings as suggested by others.

Also check the data cable (the ribbon cable) at both ends. I had one
years ago which the hard drive end required pliers to pull off but the
controller end was so loose it would make or break contact when I
breathed. (Well, not literally!) Replacing the cable solved the
problem. Touch chassis ground frequently when working inside the
case.
