You cant do that! You dont have a system disk! I've had this problem before, but I re-imaged the HDD everytime. Seing as its not a HDD problem, I thought I'd sort out this mobo, and why its doing it.

The black screen and a white message says : "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER."

I am really really really annoyed with this board by now.
Try these:
Insert your operating system installation cd or dvd. Just make sure its the same you used to install it and try to boot from HDD

Disable jmicron and sata raid. If you OS is vista insert vista dvd (that has the repair feature) and click Repair my Computer> startup

What model is your ram? what are you running it at?
