I have a Sony computer with Windows ME. When I boot up, I get a non-system disk or disk error message and then it states to replace and strike any key when ready. Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix the problem. Thank you in advance.

HELP! I have the same error, but there is no disk in the drive. THere is no disk in any drive on the computer, but the hard disk. The problem began when my computer froze (not uncommon), so I had to shut it down manually. When I started the computer up, it comnes up with the error. The dir file shows only windows and program1 on the HD, although 40 gis are taken up. There is no way I know of that was able to start windows. Even the system disk did not help. I had made 2 proiles. one only has default windows settings, the other hs everything else. I also have aout a gigabyte of irriplacible photos, so my last resort is to reformat. Disconnecting the floppy drive comes up with the same error. Please give any help you can to funnyman12345@comcat.net
