disk boot failure

Since recently I have some sort of problem with booting: I sometimes get a message saying "Disk boot failure: insert system disk and press enter". I don't excactly know what a system disk is, quite possible that I have one and just can't find it, but if I reset the computer just boots like it should, without the message. I don't think it's newly installed software that's causing trouble, since I don't remember installing anything right before this began happening. So does anyone know what the problem here is and what I can do about it?
