1 Check for the floppy in the floppy drive

2 If there is any remove that floppy in the

floppy drive and then restart your computer

3 If not enter into bios setup and then change

the boot sequence and boot through the startup

disk and then type at the command prompt sys c:

and after that you will get a indication

saying that system transfered

4 Then after that restart your computer your

system should boot to windows

5 If not you need to reinstall the windows

(Format and then reinstall)

6 And if you get any erros while you do a format

then your hard drive is damaged and you need

to replace the hard drive
