1. "The first error message said: Intel Boot Agent: no boot filename received."
This is typical for many Intel Ethernet cards. It is not the cause of your main issue.
2. "I disabled the IBA in my BIOS. Now when I try to boot the message says:cannot read from drive due to hardware configuration problem. I tried changing disc order and boot device order in BIOS. I also tried disconnecting all drives except for the one I want,still no luck. The BIOS does not list the hard drive I want in boot device order, but it does list it in hard disc drives, and Windows says both drives are healthy. Any suggestions?"
At this point I am a bit confused. If Windows is booting, then all is right in the world and what the issue may be is that you have moved a hard disk from another machine and the contents are not readable or the contents have become "scrambled." A longer history (story) could be helpful.
3. "I am on a new Gateway with XP Pro, my hard drives are from Maxtor. I also have a CD drive and floppy. My motherboard is from Intel. I also tried upgrading my BIOS from the Gateway site. Thanks."
I'm seeing a picture of where hard disks are being swapped around and you've lost a boot record somewhere. No mention of what OS may have been on the drives, but so far, all I see is a learning experience about moving drives and how data loss will occur.

I can no longer boot from both my hard drives. The first error message said: Intel Boot Agent: no boot filename received. I disabled the IBA in my BIOS. Now when I try to boot the message says:cannot read from drive due to hardware configuration problem. I tried changing disc order and boot device order in BIOS. I also tried disconnecting all drives except for the one I want,still no luck. The BIOS does not list the hard drive I want in boot device order, but it does list it in hard disc drives, and Windows says both drives are healthy. Any suggestions? I am on a new Gateway with XP Pro, my hard drives are from Maxtor. I also have a CD drive and floppy. My motherboard is from Intel. I also tried upgrading my BIOS from the Gateway site. Thanks.
