A friend just got this computer and it says Intel Celeron but when they start it up it says invalid booot disk. It is a Gateway Astro 100. I guess it is a all in one thing. Have not seen it. I will be here tommorrow. I did not know where to post it so I figured It was a 95 OS. Sounds like I will have to reformat. Any Ideas? Thanks

could be alot of things, first make sure the harddrive is acknowledge in your bios, get a new bootdisk from bootdisk.com and try again.

I am working on it now,tried to use bootdisc but I get a no hard drive error or need a hard drive driver. I am going into setup and then I will check Gateway's web site...Thanks.

Take the floppy out,you can't boot a PC when you have a floppy disk in the drive.Thats why it's invalid,unless your useing a system floppy to format.
Then you get an A: prompt.
