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

Re: comp trouble
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

Re: comp trouble
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.

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)
