I would think he might need a new disk drive. I could be wrong! Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God.

Can you please tell me what that means and what if anything he can do about it? Apparently, it says to press control-alt-delete to restart and tries to go to the start screen, but nothing happens. Does this mean his disk drive has crashed? Any explanation would be appreciated. Thank you.
