Hello Al:

Is that the exact message? I've never seen a message worded quite like that. I would assume that there is either a floppy or CD inserted in your system (or possibly, a 'bootable' USB key). If not, perhaps a drive failure.

Please post the exact message and the OS you're trying to boot. Also, indicate what happens before the failure.

Make a great day!

Roger

You have a non bootable disk in the computer - a floppy disk or a CD or a flash/USB disk
Have a look at this link from Microsoft

Does your system supports the hot key to select boot device? If so, when you instruct him to boot from HDD does the same happens?

Also, you might have a corrupt HDD.
