(I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in troubleshooting)

I recently switched Graphics cards. Kind of.

When I plug in my new card it displays "Disk Boot Failure, INSERT SYSTEM DISK and PRESS ENTER"

What Do I need to do to resolve this.

If this matters:

Old Graphics Card: AMD HD Radeon 5670

New Graphics Card: GTX 750 TI

 

Any suggestions that might help are welcomed.

Thank you for your time.

That has nothing to do with your graphics card being bad or anything. I think you accidentally unplugged your HDD while installing your new graphics card

That is nothing to do with the graphics card, in all of my years including my noob years I never experienced that apart from an unexpected shut down once.

Alright, What Do I do to fix this problem? My Primary Hard Drive with the OS installed on it is properly in place.

Whenever I put the old Graphics Card in, it boots up just fine.

Try putting your old graphics card back in, uninstall AMD drivers/software and then try the new graphics card again

I've searched my computer for drivers, I can't find them. Where would be an easy way to find them and uninstall them? 

Control Panel -> Programs and Features (or "Uninstall a program" -> AMD Catalyst Install Manager (if you didn't update drivers in a long time then it may be called something else, maybe ATI)

Something else that may be a problem,

I have 2 hard drives that both have a significant amount of data on both of them. But When I have the 750 ti plugged in I can only fit one hard drive in, Could that be the problem?
