I've recently developed two problems:
1)When I start up my computer it sometimes goes to a black screen that says: Disk Boot Failure
Insert system Disk and press enter. Reboot usually works. How can I correct/prevent?
2)Yahoo is my email and home page. When I input email address and password I keep getting
"The page cannot be displayed" and refresh doesn't always work. Tried and can't get an answer from Yahoo.
Can you help me?

Cause:
This issue could be caused by any of the following possibilities.
Boot options are not set properly in CMOS
Non bootable CD or CD-R in computer
All boot devices set are not bootable
Solution:
BOOT OPTIONS ARE NOT SET PROPERLY IN CMOS
Verify that the boot options within CMOS are set properly Below is an example of how we recommend the boot options be set
Floppy drive
CD-ROM drive
Hard Drive
Other / Network
NON BOOTABLE CD OR CD-R IN COMPUTER
Verify that no CD or CD-R is in the computer possibly causing the computer to attempt to boot from that disc
ALL BOOT DEVICES SET ARE NOT BOOTABLE
If all of the above recommendations have been attempted and you encounter the same issue it is likely that the computer is not detecting any devices in the computer that are bootable Attempt to boot from a bootable floppy disk
If you are unable to boot from a known bootable floppy diskette ensure that the floppy drive is properly setup, additional information and troubleshooting on the computer floppy drive can be found on document CH000277
Once you are able to boot from a bootable floppy diskette ensure that the hard disk drive is able to be read Information about why you may not be able to see the hard drive when booting from a floppy diskette can be found on document CH000047
