Do you have a CD or DVD in the optical drive?

by Slikkster Feb 15, 2009 7:36PM PST

First of all, you gave very little information about what you're trying to do and what the problem is. That said, here's my guess:

This message frequently comes up when you have your computer set to boot up from the CD/DVD Drive first. In other words, the pc will first look to see if there is a CD/DVD in the drive, and will attempt to boot from the CD if it thinks it's a bootable disc. If no cd/dvd is found, it will then normally try the next physical disc in the boot order, such as your hard drive.

It sounds to me like you do have a CD/DVD in your CD/DVD drive, and that it may not have been burned correctly as a "bootable" cd/dvd. I would remove the CD/DVD and let it boot to the hard drive.

Please give more information about what you are trying to do and what cd or dvd you are using.

I think it's nothing wrong with that warning and you can

I think it's nothing wrong with that warning and you can leave things as they are.

Moving on you tell us you can't boot the disk but not a word about the system, what disk and more.
