Just my computer was restored now when I try to start it, it says that I need but in the disk boot. I don't have a boot disk. What should I do?

I got a virus and I had fixed my computer, but now whenever I try to start my computer it tells me that there is no device boot-able and for me to insert a boot disk, then press a button on any. Well, I looked through all the manuals and CD that came with the computer and not for the life of me, I can find a boot disk. It's an old unit, I bought it in 2005 and I've been using Windows XP. Then what should I do? Is there anyway to get a boot disk? Can I just buy a new form of program store like windows vista or windows 7? Please keep in mind and don't forget when you give inform me that I am unable to do anything with the tower. No internet access, no desktop, nothing, so that the download is not an option. It just starts and then tells me to put in a boot disk. So what I do/how can I remedy this? Thanks for the help!

Hi Becca_459,

 

1. who is the manufacturer of your computer?

2. What is the exact error you get when you start your computer?

I suggest you to check the computer's BIOS settings to make sure that BIOS lists and recognizes the hard disk. See the computer documentation or contact the manufacturer to find out how to check the BIOS settings.

After you verify that the computer's BIOS detects the hard disk, restart the computer, and then test to determine if the problem is resolved.

If the problem is not resolved, or if the computer's BIOS cannot detect the hard disk, you may have problems with your hardware. Contact the manufacturer to find out how to solve this problem

NOTE: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

If it does not, you will need to contact the manufacture of equipment.
