[SK BOOT FAILURE
« on: December 27, 2006, 08:01:58 AM »
I thought i would ask about this other computer i have. It as been out in the building for about a year, and i tryed it again today so i could write down the error. When u turn it on is loads through what ever, and then comes up with this error "[SK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"?? Any one know how to fix this, and what disk it is talking about?

First thing to do is check of there is a CD in the CD drive or a floppy in the floppy drive.
If so, remove it.
Do you remember what happened before this problem came up?

Relevant information about the machine is not just helpful, it is required.

Oh because i took it back out to the building last night with alot of other stuff (g/f complaining it was it the way lol), and dont think its worth me going out ther and trying to find it. I cant think of what it is off the top of my head , it was a computer i had build for gaming, and surfing the net. Im not sure if its 2000, xp, and not sure what kind it is. All i know is one day i turned it on, and got that error so i got a new one. I just thought i might try, and fix it because of all the high priced parts thats in it.

Oh, OK then.
If you do go out and find it, post back with details.
If not, it's not a problem (well, not mine anyway . . . lol).

Ok i found a support thing i had on it, and all it says is ULTRA pentium 2. I read about the error im getting, and think it as somthing to do with it losing OS files or somthing. If thats the problem how can i clear the HD to 1s and 0s again to install new xp OS on it?

Thanks.
