Hello all,
This is a weird error hope you can help me.
My windows XP running fine until suddenly
it's just rebooted itself and displayed "NON SYSTEM, blah blah".

I tried to restore the hard disk image but same message showed up and won't boot.

I re-installed clean Windows XP. Everything
is fine while installing (ie reboot).

When Windows finished installing, I started
to install drivers, software, etc and reboot.
Then I got "NON SYSTEM DISK blah blah" again.

Is this some kind of virus or hard disk error?

Thanks

No, the CD drives are empty. I even changed the BIOS so it will only boot from C:\. In a split second, somehow the boot partition is wiped off or something.
