The error is in your Operating System or your last Installed Application.

1.Try boot the computer in Last known good configuration to go back to the earlier configuration when it worked fine.

Keep tapping f8 key when you restart the computer, from the advanced options, select Last known good configuration .

2. Reformat your PC this was the best Solution

YOUR LAPTOP HAS A MISSING BOOT DEVICE THIS USUALLY MEANS YOUR INTERNAL HARD DRIVE HAS DIED

Does it say anything else? Sometimes this type of recurring message can be due to the system time not being set. Entering setup and configuring the time may work.

Have you gone to 'setup' using F12?

If you can get into Setup you should be able to change boot options to boot from fixed (hard) disc. Unless the hard drive has been damaged or formatted this should work.

Hi, you haven't said what operating system you have, but here are two options. Restore windows with your windows CD. Or you can boot into safe mode by pressing the Del or ESC key during initial boot, select start in safe mode, from where you can reset your operating system to an earlier time before the problem. Both of these will not loose any saved files.

sound like the hard drive. do you hear the drive spinning?? you may need replace or reformat.

what OS are you running....?

Select the del and in bios, select optium defaults. next select F12, will it go any further?

I have the same model and had the same problem. Fortunately there is a simple fix - unplug all your USB devices (mouses, printers etc). It should now boot!

Assuming that fixed it, it was trying to boot from a USB drive for some unknown reason. I think it was due to the latest windows XP update. Wierd. Hit F12 next time you reboot and make sure it is booting from hard disk first.
