Non-System disk or disk error,replace and strike any key when ready

My evo does the same thing, when the battery runs out. I just have to restart it once and it works fine
I took the hardrive out and put it back in,then put window xp disk in and rebooted and it work,back online again,thanks for all the info.....

most of the time that problem is from your hard drive... some there is a bad sector or cluster soon it will not function...!! better replace your hardrive or try to reformat your hard drive ..... this are the best thing you do..

Turn it all the off. Then pull the hard drive out and put it back in again. Now, put your system disk (Win XP?) into the drive and turn the laptop on. It should do something else now. I have had this happen on several laptops I have rebuilt and it takes patience to get them started sometimes.... I have managed to load XP onto all of them eventually!
Hope this helps

what model# hardrive do i need? you think that will do it?thanks.......
My Compaq N610c laptop is also giving the error "Non-system disk or disk error replace and strike any key when ready".
I tried following things:
1. Replaced the hard disk of laptop with another hard disk of same laptop model. It booted up.
2. I replaced my hard drive in another laptop of same model. That laptop did not boot up.
It means hard drive might have developed bad sectors or it might have crashed. That is mother boards of both the laptops are not able to detect it.
As of now, i would like to immediately recover the data and back them up. Let me know the procedure, software and hardware installed for back up.
I would also like to know possiblity to booting laptop with my current harddisk.
