Non-system disk or disk error

judie200 · 10-18-2006, 08:25 AM

When i turn my computer on it says that there is a non-sytem disk or disk error replace and strike any key when ready. What disk would it be talking about.

Check that you don't have a floppy disk, CD, or DVD in any drives - it may be trying to boot from a removable disk.

To get into the BIOS, keep hitting the Delete key as soon as you turn the system on. After a few seconds, a blue menu screen will come up - that's the BIOS. The first page (or menu option) should show all the drives in the system - make sure the hard drive is listed there.
