I forgot to say that the computer is a ZT. It says model 5037Z on back. It has Windows Vista. When its turned on, it will show the ZT screen for a few seconds and then the screen goes black and says boot disk error. Insert system disk. It did not come with any disks. I purchased it last Christmas. I can go to the bios setup but not sure how to check if the hard drive is OK or whatnot. Please help if you can. Thabk You so much. |

The problem could be one of many, hard drive failure or corruption, deleted partition table, or even a blank hard drive.

It may be listed as Disk Drive, or Hard Drive, or HDD, Sata Drive... Most computers will list 2 or more, and only one will have manufactures info. If They are all disabled, then switch them all to automatic. Post what you find... |
