If you get the message "Non system disk" upon bootup and you can't get rid of it, it looks like your hard drive crashed.  If the boot sector on the hard drive is toast, it can't boot up and you'll get that message.\n\nAs for fixing it... I honestly hope you didn't have anything important on it.\n\nLets see... Double-check there's no disks in any drives, including CD-ROMs.  Try going into your BIOS setup and resetting it to the defaults. If none of this works, you may have to take more drastic measures.\n\nIf you have another PC, you can take the hard drive out and put it in as a slave in the second PC. This will at least allow you to copy off anything you need.\n\nIf you don't have another PC, you can try re-installing windows over itself. Just make sure you don't re-format or re-partition in the process.  As long as you keep the current file system, you won't lose any data.

Do you have a floppy disc in the drive?  Check that first, if not, then:\nhttp://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm

Have you done the regular maintenance stuff? Delete temp files (disc cleanup) and defrag? I would do that first. \nThen I would do another check by going to my computer, right click on C drive, click on tools, then check error checking check now. It won't do it until you restart. If that does not fix your computer then I would do the system restore.\n\nI would also run a spyware program to make sure you are not full of cookies.\n\nGood luck!

There's not enough info here, but let me take a shot...\n\n1) The PC is "fried"  This is actually the best scenario for you.  Simply remove the disk drive and install it in another computer.  Some computer shops will even take a drive and check it independently of the P.C.  If you live in the west, go to Fry's.\n\n2) Windows is corrupted.  This is also a good scenario for you.  If you have the Windows set up CD, boot from the CD and try to repair the installation.  I strongly suggest you check out Microsoft's and other's web sites about this, as there are various options.  \n\n3)  BAD NEWS is that the disk is corrupt or broken.  In this case there is not much you can do.  \n\nAs I said before, if you can remove the disk and take it to Fry's, they can tell you if there is data on there.\n\nIf you don't have one, I recommend that you get a CD burner and back up those pictures.

yo boobooed\nthe easiest fix, is to boot from your windows xp cd, and when given options, the first time it asks, say intstall, the secon time say repair, it will do a non-destructive install and replace any bad or missing files or associations.\nYou could check in the recycle bin and if it is in there, restore it

Can you back up to a system restore point?  You could try this, if you have WinXP or WinMe.\n----------------------\nSorry that wasn't the silver bullet. From a distance, I can't think of anything else you should try.

Sounds like the problem is in the thumb drive.\n\nAre both the PC's running the same file system (FAT32 vs NTFS)?\n\n///
