Your harddrive may have died...
The computer stars up and auto matically looks for the first bootable device as programed in order...if nothing is found then you recieve that message'

Default boot problems


to boot xp there are three major files in your system
you must had a boot disket, (not sure what you do if you do not have A Drive)
the files are NTDECT.com, boot.ini and NTLDR you have to put them on a bootable Disk in bios change to boot from A and after you have the computer running copy those three files to your root directory'
you can get these files of internet I think

ps works sometimes not all
