The error message "Non-System Disk or Disk Error. Replace and strike any key when ready" typically appears when the computer is trying to boot from a non-bootable source, such as a USB drive, a floppy disk, or an empty optical drive (CD/DVD drive). It indicates that the computer is unable to find a valid operating system on the selected boot device.
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:
- Remove any removable media: Make sure there are no USB drives, floppy disks, or CDs/DVDs in the respective drives. Remove them and restart the computer.
- Check the boot order: Enter the computer's BIOS settings by pressing the appropriate key (often F2, F10, or Delete) during the boot process. In the BIOS settings, navigate to the "Boot" or "Boot Order" section and ensure that the internal hard drive (usually labeled as "HDD" or "SATA") is set as the first boot device. Save any changes and exit the BIOS.
- Check the hard drive connections: Open the computer case (if applicable) and ensure that the cables connecting the hard drive to the motherboard and power supply are securely connected. If necessary, disconnect and reconnect the cables.
- Test the hard drive: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it's possible that the hard drive has failed or is not properly recognized by the system. You can try connecting the hard drive to another computer or using a bootable USB/DVD with diagnostic software to check the health of the drive.
- Seek professional help: If none of the above steps work or if you're uncomfortable performing hardware troubleshooting, it's recommended to contact a computer technician or the manufacturer's support for further assistance.
Remember to backup your important data regularly to prevent data loss in case of hardware failures.
