Disk error it always tells me that i have a "disk error" no matter what disk i put in. even when it doesn't have a disk in it still says that.

Check the table with a level and shim the leg or maybe the groove for the glass is not even. It was OK. before?

According to the following link...looks like you would have to find/get a Docking Bay to hook up an External CD/DVD ROM in order to have a better chance of putting a operating system back on it.

slave drive is very handy in backup files you can store data and other software and drivers. it does matter becouse master drive always has the operating system that the virus and error always happen. hard drive with IDE connector has two jumper setting slave and master. connected to IDE cable. sata disk has no master slave..

Do you have an external CD or DVD drive to plug into it? If so, and if you have a Windows installation disk, you can boot from the disk and do a chkdsk scan on the drive to make sure the drive doesn't have errors. If the drive doesn't have errors, you'll need to do a rebuild of the operating system.

If the drive did have errors and chkdsk says it fixed them, try booting into windows again.

If it still won't boot, do the OS rebuild.

If it reports there is no hard drive, you've got bigger issues and will need to have the unit repaired.

Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope. Go outside during the day and practice focusing on a distant object.

Stars ALWAYS look like -------------- stars no matter what telescope you use. They are all too far away to see as a "disk" , always just points of light.

The closest star is Proxima Centauri at 4.2 light years away.

That is about 25 TRILLION miles!

try a cotton swab and len cleaner. rub a small amount on the laser eye and then dry it off. do thus several times. be careful and don't put to much on the cotton swab. it don't take alot

if there is no physical damage to the outside of the console, take it back to where you purchased it for an exchange, it sounds like you may have knocked the laser out of place or even damaged the board.

replace ur drive       or take a hammer and smash it into a thousand peaces and mail it to microcenter and say thanks for ****

The optics assembly is not detecting the disk. Sometimes this is due to the lens being dirty. These units are not the easiest to work on with out either experience or the manual. I would suggest that you invest in a service call to have the optics checked.
