Hello,

Try this 1

Go to BIOS --> Load default settings --> Make sure that your hard drive

is detected --> Set the first boot device to hard drive --> Save the

settings and exit from BIOS.

If your hard drive is not detected then check your hard drive

connections.

Good Luck

Hi there,

The message you get may be related to some hardware or connectivity issue. It seems that your PC is trying to load the OS but it can not locate it. That is why is asking you to put the installation disc. I strongly recommend you to enter BIOS and check if you hard drive is listed correctly. If it is not, check SATA cables and ports. If you have the possibility, check the drive on another PC.

Hope this helps
