Non-system disk or disk error

 message.

If you are starting the computer from the hard disk, make sure 
there is no diskette in the diskette drive.

If you are starting the computer from a diskette, the diskette in the 
drive does not have the files necessary to start the computer. 
Replace it with a bootable diskette.

Try another diskette. If you can access the second diskette, the first 
diskette (not the drive) is probably causing the problem. Run 
ScanDisk on the faulty diskette (for instructions, see 

).

Make sure the drive tray has closed properly. Press gently until it 
clicks into place.

Open the drive tray and remove the disc. Make sure the drive tray 
is clean. Any dirt or foreign object can interfere with the laser 
beam.

Examine the disc to see whether it is dirty. If necessary, wipe it 
with a clean cloth dipped in water or a neutral cleaner.

Replace the disc in the tray. Make sure it is lying flat, label side 
uppermost. Press the disc down until it locks on the spindle. Close 
the drive tray carefully, making sure it has shut completely.

Make sure the computer is connected to a power source and turned 
on. The CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive eject mechanism requires 
power to operate.
