 It means the computer could not find the operating system and therefore could not boot.Causes and solutions

  • Disc Stuck in the Drive

Check to see if this is the case - if so, remove the disc(s) and try again

  • Incorrect Boot Sequence

Enter the BIOS setup of your computer and edit the boot sequence so that the computer starts primarily on drive C.

  • New Hard Drive Installed

If a new hard drive has been installed, this message is quite normal. Insert the installation CD for the operating system you wish to use and then restart the machine, having made sure the CD-ROM is defined in the BIOS setup as first in the boot sequence.

  • Hard Drive Unplugged

Open the system unit and check the power cable of the hard drive is properly connected.

This Error means a lot of things, one of which is that there is no physical HDD detected, Operating system is corrupted and requires you to insert the system disk.This Error is primarily caused by  a lot of things as well, one of which is dust accumulation within the system unit, virus infection that caused the hdd hardware to malfunction and corrupt the existing operating system, Bad Sectors of the HDD which caused it to malfunction.My suggested troubleshooting for this error, is to check the system for dust accumulation and clean it. Unplug the sata cables for the motherboard and HDD and replug it. If error persist check the HDD status. If error is unresolve, try to insert the operating system disk and used the repair tools which can be found on the repair section. If still error is unresolved, consider purchasing a new HDD in order to fix this problem.
