Getting Werid Massage at Boot UP
I got an emahcines everything was fine till i rebooted by compuetr but everytime i rebooted, my system recovery kept coming up , i didn't want to do that so i rebooted again and pressed f10 , i went and picked one of the options i didn't know what it was but thought it might help.

Now everytime i reboot i get stuff like

No Bootfilename recived

or invailed system disk or disk i/o error and i was scared and it is not going away i keep going back and pressing f10 to pick the right one but i still get the massage

now i wanted to do a full system recovery now so i put in my disk and it went to a screen to preess R for a full recovery , but then i rebooted again to go back to f10 to change the thing again to see if it would help but its not..

So what is happening why i keep getting the Invalied System Disk or i/o error?

Everything was working fine today..

And now how do i get the system recovery menu back when insert the disk at boot before the error comes up

a little confused by the post,

Using F10 probably invoked the system recovery partition - this would load the software back to the factory default - as you purchased it
depending on which option you choose you may have just re-installed windows or carried out a full format and restore which would remove all your data and set the machine up just like it was when you first took it out the box

If you have a CD which is not bootable in the CD Drive and dependong on how the Bios is set you may get an error

take all CD's and Floppys out of the machine

Does it now boot


you also say it works today ??? thats where i'm confused

So provide the exact model of PC
what CD you are using - recovery, full windows system CD etc
as much info as possible
