    Check to see if you have any CDs or floppy disks in your computer and remove them. Sometimes your computer won't boot until these things are out.

    First check to see if you dont have a floppy in your drive. If that's not the case your Hard disk might be corrupt. Open the computer and check the cables to make sure they are properly connected.

    Do you have a disk in one of your drives? That would cause that message to come up.

    Ensure you don't have a disk in the floppy drive. Otherwise, your hard drive may have died and as such the PC can't find your operating system and bootup.

    Does sound like your HD has crashed. Do you have a diagnostics disk you can run that came with the machine?
