Win 95 Can't Boot

Dear Magical Computer Wizard,

Please wave your wand and make my computer work again. I bought this Windows 95 about a month ago, this morning it says something about a "Noon System Desk". What do I do?

Sincerly,
Amy


Dear Amy,

I'm sure you the error you mention is Non System Disk. This is due to your computer trying to boot from something other than the C:\ drive. The fix is easy and you should be able to do it yourself.
1. Turn off the power to your PC, I recommend removing the power cord.
2. Remove all the screws in the back of you PC, this should allow you to see the insides of the mystery box.
3. Find the box that holds the cup holder.
4. Using a pair of sissors cut the four colored wires and the gray flat thing off the box that holds the cup holer.
5. Use electric tape (or hot glue) to prevent the wires from sparking.
6. Repeat for the smaller gray box that you put your hard disks from your drawer into.

Best Wishes,
