Re: Invalid System Disk Error Message

I was on the internet yesterday and my PC locked up. When I tried

Disk -

I'm wondering if that has something to do with Internet Explorer 7.

I never see the Windows splash screen and I cannot get the
PC to boot up in Safe mode.

As has probably already been suggested. If you are using Windows XP,
you press F8 during the boot process. If not, highly recommended
that you upgrade to Windows XP.

I tried a couple of things in the BIOS to no avail. Someone
suggested to reboot the computer with the CD but I lost it.
Nothing is working and I am getting the same error message.
Please help with any help and/or suggestions.

You really need to find a Windows CD. Hug a techie, it will do
wonders for your computer problems.

Good luck.
