Why does my PC give me an Invalid System Disk Error?

Question

What Do I Do When My Pc Tells Me Invalid System Disk Replace The Disk, And Then Press Any Key? It Wont Start Up.

Answer

This question was answered on May 6, 2006. Much of the information contained herein may have changed since posting.

There is probably a floppy in your computers drive that does not contain any boot information. When you boot up your computer it checks the floppy drive for any "boot files" that could tell it to do something different upon booting up. If you have a floppy that does not contain any boot info in it in your floppy drive when booting it will ask you to remove the floppy and then you may continue.
