My friend has an advent notebook and windows xp home edition is now failing to start, the error message says that it could be due to a software or hardware change and to insert disk into drive and reinstall windows. The disk did not come with the notebook so unable to do this. The only 2 options which come up on advent screen are to run set up or enter boot screen. Any ideas please?
Sounds like the error you get with a failing or failed hard drive.
