When booting, the PC stops on the initial BIOS screen and displays "Insert
book disk and restart"
Hitting F8 during boot up is fruitless; it's impossible to get to safe mode.
What step should I take now?
I read there is a "repair" install but when I insert the manufacturer
provided recovery disk, I get a message to accept the XP license; the next
screen says "Hard Drive is nor partitioned. This utility creates DOS
partitions and restarts your computer. If you see this message again, it may
be caused my non-DOS partitions on the drive. You must delete Non DOS
partitions to proceed.
Should I continue, won't creating partitions delete all existing data and
files?
I'm stuck.
