    Hello NBR.
    On saturday or sunday there i turned on my laptop to receive a message saying that the operating system could not be loaded.
    The message was on a black screen and displayed the problem as being a 'Boot Error'. It told me that i would need to insert the installation disk and would need to restart the computer select my language and then 'Repair' my PC.
    This seemed to work. Then the next day i had completely forgot about it and turned on my laptop to see the same error message. I followed the steps again and again my computer seemed to function properly.
    Just 5 mins ago i turn on this laptop to see yet another message saying the same old stuff about a boot error. I repaired it again and am now currently using the laptop to type this message.
    Following the steps the message displays seems to fix the problem but the fact of the matter is that this should not be happening at all.
    Does anyone know why i am repeatedly getting this msg?
    Any advice is welcome. Thanks
