You need to reload Windows

Youv'e got a corrupted disk. Format the disk,re-install the operating system if you have the op.system disk to load from.First ensure your computer is set to boot from the CD drive before the hard drive,and disable virus protection.Don't connect to the net until virus protection is enabled again or you'll get the Blaster worm in your system in seconds. f1 normally takes you to the BIOS,where you can set the boot order,etc.Use the up-down keys here. The mouse won't work because the drivers are not loaded.There are loads of sites with detailed instructions for all this.

Sounds like your hard disk has had it.
None System Disk or disk Error means that the Hard disk is not being read properly.
You can try re-installing Windows, if that does not help (because the hard disk is no longer responding, time to buy a new Hard disk I am afraid.
Let us know if you need more help after that.
Good luck.

It sounds as though your operating system has crashed, or at worst the Harddrive is defective.
I suggest that you insert your operating system CD into the drive and see what happens....
If you are in any doubt, take it to someone who knows about PC's.

I dont know which kind of bootdisk you are using (like fdd, hdd, usb disk etc.) but it seems your pc got some problem while trying to read the disk. may be your hdd got bad sector and its time to remove those or replace the hdd.

Press f1 for setup, Then see the boot sequence. For the First boot device select [HDD-0], Second boot device select [HDD-1] and Third boot device select [CDROM]. Then save and exit & restart. I think your problem will be solved. If not then you have reinstall your OS.
