Comment: I recently turned on my windows xp comupter, and
within a few seconds a black and white screen came
up which had much writing and at the bottom it said
"disk boot error, insert system disk and press enter".
I tried using my windows xp disk, and I chose the
repair mode. It then came up with a choice of things
such as bootfix etc. none of which actually worked. I
have a lot of important documents on my computer,
and I have not recently installed any hardware or
software. Please help.

Reply: (edit)You need a Diskette with the System files on it inserted into the A drive. Boot to the A drive and at the A:\ prompt type Sys c: . When it has finished remove the Diskette and reboot.
