when i turn the pc on it keeps saying non system disc?
i switch out the ribbons and jumpers unplug everything etc and i dont know whats wrong i cant even get safe mode. i have win me and a compaq presario built in 99 0r 98 and 2 hard drives attached one old one (2 gigs) and 1 new one (20 gigs) any help would be appreciated
There isn`t a floppy left in floppy drive is there?
Or sounds like missing boot files or master boot record.
Remove non system disk. ie: remove the non system disc from floppy or CD-ROM drive.
Alter PC boot sequence in BIOS changing PC`s boot order to start from. Have a device that has boot files (or operating system files) installed on such as Windows disc in your CD_ROM drive.
