718875 2008-11-08 18:10:00 Does that message show up before Window loads or right after POST?

Though if you are given an option to select a boot device, just select your HDD that has windows installed then windows should load.

718876 2008-11-08 18:14:00 Yup sounds like it trying to boot from a floppy, or a cd with nothing on it

Or maybe the card reader, if its got one, and there's nothing there

Go into the BIOS and change the bootdisk to the hard drive

Remove any floppies or cd's

718877 2008-11-08 19:25:00 ...windows doesnt load at all...and there are no floppy or disc... rocco (14290)
718878 2008-11-08 19:28:00 The hdd in it is probably dead then. Or its not in properly, if it can be removed

If it can be removed take it out, then slot it back in

See what the boot disk in the BIOS to set to (if its set to the hdd)
