I have a problem with WD hard drive failure. It is my primary hard drive with operating system on it together with some important documents. The problem is I can not boot system any more and I am receiving following error :”DISK BOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER”. I hope that my hard drive is not gone for good.

Hello. This might be WD hard drive failure, but more possibly it is some other problem. Do you have some floppy disk in drive? If you have then system will look for boot sector on floppy disk and report this message. This message also occurs if master boot record is damaged. This can be fixed if you enter “FIXMBR” command in Recovery console (boot from Windows XP installation CD and press r when asked for recovery console).
