message.

The computer was placed in Stand By mode and the battery
has discharged. Data stored in the computer’s memory and
not saved has been lost.
To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into a live
wall outlet for several hours. For more information, see
“Power and the batteries” on page265.

The computer displays the Non-System disk or disk error message.

Make sure there is no diskette in the diskette drive. If there is
one, remove it and press any key to continue. If pressing any
key does not work, press Ctrl, Alt, and Del simultaneously to
restart the computer.
The Windows® operating system is not working
Once you are familiar with the desktop and used to the way
the operating system responds to your work routine, you can
easily detect if the operating system is not working correctly.
For example:
❖The operating system fails to start after the Starting
WindowsXP message appears.
❖The operating system takes a long time to start.
❖The operating system responds differently from the
normal routine.
❖The screen does not look right.
Unless a hardware device has failed, problems usually occur
when you change the system in some way such as installing a
new program or adding a device.
If you experience any of these problems, use the options in
the Startup menu to fix the problem.
