Greetings -

Occasionally my computer (running XP Pro) will display a screen that says
"DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER". This will happen
usually during the middle of the night when my computer is running, so when
I come in in the morning I see this message. If I just restart the computer
it restarts fine without any problems. Does anyone know why this message
would appear and a fix for it?

Thanks in advance
 
It sounds as though you are having some kind of power issue in the middle of
the night,i.e., surge, spike, momentary outage. Perhaps you need to invest
in a battery back up/UPS.

It's either that or your hard drive is on the verge of crashing because that
is what the error suggests.
