Disk Boot Failure

[dinkydo53545]

The DVD & CD rom drive on my Proteva Win 98 computer would not work after being fix a year ago because of a virus. I saw that they were not hooked up. Hooked them both up, turned on pc and it gave me

" Disk Boot Failure . Insert System Disk and press enter".

I figured I must of lost everything that I had on my computer anyway (no backup disk , I use this computer for music juke box) so I inserted the small floppy startup disk. It then gave me a A: prompt .

Not I dont know what to do . Did I make a mistake by not taking it somewhere to have them do it. Can anyone tell me step by step what to do. Is there anyway getting it all back ?

Your Proteva computer is now obsolete. Perteva was bought out by Systemax a few years ago. Have you tried unhooking the CD & DVD ROM drives to see if you can get it to boot? Also, look for a disk in one of the drives. Check your manual to see how you boot into the BIOS. When in the BIOS, check to see what's listed as the first boot device. If it's not the floppy drive change it too boot first from the floppy drive, then the harddrive. Post back with your results. Hope this helps.
