    Suggest you just contact HP Support, and obtain the Restoration (System) disk. In the USA the disk is free. The shipping and handling is not. $17 for a 5 to 7 day ship, $24 for a 2 to 3 day ship. Call 800-474-6836. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Give the HP Support representative the Serial Number (S/N) for the white Service Tag on the back of your computer. If you are not in the US here is the HP Support Worldwide contact info,http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/wwco...

Every time I start my computer it says master boot record error and press a key. After I do it says disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter. I don't have system disk because my computer...

You can see if there is a recovery partition on you hard drive by pressing the F12 key as soon as you turn on your PC and select boot partition, if not, you will need to buy a set of recovery disks from the manufacturer, it will cost you around $30. If you have a Windows CD you can boot with it and install Windows and download all the device drivers from the manufacturer site. I hope this helps. Good luck and have a fantastic day.

When I switch on my pc,it tells me disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter. I have XP proffessional sp3 but only have a xp home disk.

If your computer has just been formatted, your computer might require you to insert the boot CD

to be able to run it. You might hence get the error message Disk Boot Failure- Insert disk and

press enter displayed on the screen every time you will try to run it. This might be linked

to:

* 1. The boot options not correctly set in BIOS
* 2. A non bootable CD is found in your CD drive
* 3. You do not possess any bootable device
* 4. You have installed a new hard disk
* 5. The hard disk is not properly plugged
* 6. Your system files have been infected

Disk boot failure

After making 100% sure you have no diskette or CD in any drives the conclusion may well be that the disk is ruined. You ay try to boot from a diskette or CD and see if you can access the disk then. (see www.ultimatebootcd.com for instructions to make a boot CD) "The ultimate boot CD" has a few tools that might help you out. Since you can't boot you must make it on a different computer, though. You may also try to insert the disk in a diffe rent computer to see if it can be booted there. Also make sure all cables are properly connected.
