disk boot failed. insert system disk and press enter

Eh? So I started my computer a few days ago and this came up instead of the Windows boot up screen. I turned it off and back on and did it again. So I thought my comp had finally crashed, but I called the people who always fix my comp and they said to bring it in and they may or may not be able to fix it. I had lunch first, then decided to try it one more time and boom it started like normal and has been fine ever since. I'm just wondering WTF that was and should I be worried that it could happen again?

Do you have more than one hard disk?

just the one(s) that came with the computer, C and D, I think.

I have the same problem with you back then...
and I called a computer geeks... in my problems.. it seems there was a crash between my memory card.. I used 2 memory card... one with 128MB and one with 256MB... so those memory card seem incompatible one another... :hot:
so maybe.. (just maybe) I'm not used to tech and IT thing...
there is a crash system in your computer or something... :D

It's possible. I had a similar problem with a compatibility issue between my HDs (I have 4). But if you have only one HD then is very possible that you have a HD problem. My best suggestion is to take the computer to a shop before you lose something. This kind of problem is hard to find and solve by non-experts.

yup..yup.. and don't foget to back up all your important data too..
in case there is something wrong with your compie... so you won't lose your data... :)

you have external memory devices attached to the pc ?
