What does all this mean? I was copying a floppy disk and it did that then everything froze! Finished! Now when it started to boot up the Xp logo screen came on them little blue lights were going and going but it never went back up so I reset and then....Boot Disk Failure , Insert System Disk, click enter.
Did all that too, it goes to setup..then a nice blue screen comes up and tells me a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to my computer.
It says to check that I have enought disk space,,yes I have a 40gig WD HD and lots of space. I have a Pent111 750 CPU. 640 mgs ram,I don't know what other details are needed.it was running perfectly until it froze up....Oh yea.....the HD light doesn't flicker anymore either....Any ideas or help would be Most appreciated.....HD is pretty new as well.....Thanks!
