| 21243 | 2001-10-12 21:49:00 | Hi I am getting an invaild system disk error at book up. There is no floopy disk in the a: drive. At this stage if I hit reset the machine still boots and runs. I have ran scan disk with no errors. Could this be the start of a hard drive failure? Cheers Glenn |

| 21246 | 2001-10-12 23:11:00 | You're able to boot okay after restarting? Sounds to me like it could be a virus that's infected your master boot record. Perhaps if you can get in, do a full system virus scan using the latest definitions. | Guest (0) | ||

| 21248 | 2001-10-12 23:57:00 | I have tried all of the above options and still no answer. Its weird as it seems to be only the first boot of the day. If I shut down for a few hours then crank up there is no problems. Glenn |
