You need to insert your windows disk in drive then that will sort it out for you - had the same problem with that before.

When it asks for insert system disk - then insert your windows disk in & press return/enter then that should sort it for you & boot up normally :D

To Lisa1234, make sure you haven't left a CD or floppy disk in the PC, if you have and its set to boot from them first you wil get this error.

Secondly. be very careful about using the windows disk as Windows has a VERY BAD habit of formatting the hard disk which will wipe EVERYTHING.

hiya were should it be set to boot from? it says it boots from a removable device first then hard disk second then floppy third is this right?

thanks 4 all ur help

Re: comp trouble
 

set hard disk as first boot device, if you ever need to boot from CD etc then you can change it back then(Some motherboards allow you to it F12 to choose a temporary boot device)
