Check the A: drive and make sure there's no floppy. David Weaver The other night I came home late, and tried to unlock my house with my car keys. I started the house up. So, I drove it around for a while. I was speeding, and a cop pulled me over. He asked where I lived. I said, "right here, officer". Later, I parked it on the freeway, got out, and yelled at all the cars, "Get out of my driveway!" -- Steven Wright -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 2:34 PM To: Computer_Help_and_Discussion@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Startup problem hi, My step-daughter has a problem with her Dell Computer (Win98SE). When she starts in up all she gets is a blank black screen. If she presses a (any) key she gets the following message "Invalid System disk. Replace disk, press any key" Any suggestions? As I am in Montreal and she is in New York, any help I receive will have to be relayed by phone. She is also not terribly computer literate and as I have had no experience with this sort of problem it will be a case of the blind leading the blind. This is just to let you know what you are dealing with. LOL! Thanks, Mike -- Pain: A cat licking your sunburn.
