My computer told me to put a bootdisk in it. What is a bootdisk? I think this is the second time it wanted a bootdisk.

There's a floppy disk that should have come with your Windows CD when you first got the computer. That's the boot disk.

WHOA! Here's the most probable cause for the error:

* Your system is set to boot using these priorities:
1st) from a floppy
2nd) from your hard drive

Which means that you have left a DATA disk in the floppy drive when you turn on your computer! *GROAN*

Since you don't understand why this is causing a problem the simplest solution is to remove the floppy disk! *sigh*
I wouldn't want you to go into cmos and change anything.

Cheers and best of luck
