Hi Folks 

Well just to fill in a few bit  ..

I use syslinux to boot the machine no Windows  no UEFI the system is
too old for that .

BUT any how i have solved the problem and its the one i did not want to
find  3 of the 4 sata ports on the mother board are shot 1 works fine
port 4 port 3 throws up errors ports 2 and 1 just cause the boot
problem so i will be need to replace the mother board  shame because
the CPU is fin AMD Phenom II quad core so need a replacement board to
suit .

Thanks for all the help anyways  folks
