I have a BIG problem with my laptop, it doesnt load my operating system! :dead:
I have a 100GB hard drive in my laptop and it was working perfectly fine until a blue screen came up and turned my laptop off!!
I turned it back on and it came up with a message saying:
''non-system disk or disk error; Replace and strike any key when ready''
Before that, I upgrade the RAM from 256MB to 2GB. The RAM themselves had a test and showed no problem at all.
When I did go into bios, it didnt give me an option where my laptop hard drive could do a self test, when it should have.
So i decided to buy a new hard drive which was 160GB seagate.
I put it into my laptop and had my Windows XP CD ready to put into my CD drive to install.
BUT...........the same message came up ''non-system disk or disk error; Replace and strike any key when ready'' and didnt read my CD.
It keeps doing it now and doesn't read anything from the CD
SOMEONE PLEASE...............HELP!!!..................!!!!
Does anyone know what I am talking about? If so, please help.
Thanks
