Disk Boot Failure, but Hard Drive is fine.
-Disk Manager: Are you talking about the Disk Management tools within
Windows?
-Boot.ini Contents:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Home
Edition" /fastdetect
-PS Voltages:
12V: 11.85V
5V: 5.13V
3.3V: 3.39V
Anything else?

What you have already done is listed not for you. What you have
already done was listed so that all others will learn from this
experience - those steps (unlike swapping a CPU) are useful. Also
listed are other tasks you do not say were done (ie Disk Manager and
Boot.ini contents). Listed was a voltage measurements on yellow and
red wire - whether you did it or not - because it identifies another
reason for this type of failure.
Above is a checklist of what should have been done now that disk
drive passes WD diagnostics. In some cases, tasks from that
'checklist' may need be repeated.
