I have a custom built machine with specs:
WDC WD80JB
Maxtor PY160P0
Sony DVD RW
LITE-ON CD-ROM LTN-487T
ECS nForce6m-a
2GB Corsair DDR2 RAM @ 800MHz
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 4000+ 2.11 GHz (Rate @ 6.00GHz)
Logitech 101/102-key keyboard
Logitech Serial Mouse
Microsoft PS/2 & USB Scrolling Mice
IBM 2115 (15R MS) 15″ CRT
Acer Al1917W 19″ WideScreen LCD
Antec 900 computer case
Corsair PSU 520W
HP DeskJet F4135 All-in-One P/S/C

P = Printer
C = Copier
S = Scanner

The screen says:

“Verifying DMI pool data …………………..
Error no operating system
BOOT DISK FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.”

OS installed:

Windows XP Home Edition Sp3
OpenSuSE 11.1 64-bit GNOME

What is the problem? And how can I fix this, besides sending it to a computer store?

Buy a new Hard Drive?

Thanks in advance.

edit: my computer had a boot flag problem. I just re-installed OpenSuSE 11.1 64-bit GNOME on my HDD, and I almost forgot one PC spec:
Silicon Sil 0680 SCSI Controller Card (IDE-PCI)

Thanks for all the help.

i have fedora core6 on my p4 3.06 ghz machine i want to play mp3 on it which player will required?

I downloaded VMware as virtual machine and Linux Debian virtual appliance in my vista computer. I went through a long configuration and after that It asked me for my username and i fill in the username that I created from the configuration but when I tried to type in the password it won’t let me and i got stuck in the command prompt. I don’t know if there’s something wrong with my configuration. Please help.

i know i need to upgrade the machine, but until i do i can’t get the mac to boot up from the cd-rom even when there is a bootable disk..

i have tried holdin down the “c” key but that did not owrk then i tried a couple of times “ctrl-option-shift-delete”

but that did not worked either… i even swapped the cd drive with a known working aopple cd rom drive……just for those who are curious i am installing xubuntu 6.10 or ubuntu for mac 6.06

i know that these os work on a mac cauase i have done it before but i for some reason cannot get this one to work…. it only wants to boot to the harddrive.
