Non-system disk or disk error at boot

Modified on Fri, 9 Jul, 2021 at 8:29 PM

Remove any floppy disks, CD/DVD discs and USB memory sticks or external hard drives and try booting up again.
If you can hear a repeated scraping or clunking noise, power off the computer as soon as possible, as there may be a physical problem with the hard disk and you may lose data.
