| | Non-system disk or disk error I restarted my system and got this message: Non-system disk or disk error Replace and strike any key when ready I do not have a floppy drive and there was no cd in the cdrom drive. I did a hard power down "pressed the power off/on button" and left the system down for a few minutes. When I powered the system back up it booted fine. Anyone heard of this before? Causes? Solutions? |

| | Re: Non-system disk or disk error It seems to be fine now. I haven't gotten the error again. But apparently it may happen again if it is a corrupt system file. This is a brand new computer from Dell. Maybe I should go to XP, it seems to work a lot better.

| | Re: Non-system disk or disk error Crystal - "Non-system disk" error mean that at boot the HD was not "found" and not due to a corrupted system file. A common problem when the computer does not power up correctly - if it occurs again check cable connections.
