Your PC is trying to boot from your CD drive.

Make sure there are no CDs in the drives, go back to your Bios and make sure that the main HDD (if you have more than one) is selected as the first boot drive and the configuration is saved.

Try again

The hard disk is displayed on the bios rgt ?.. Make sure that in the boot priority, your hard disk is given a higher priority than yur CD drive. Your pc shud skip searching for bootable media in ur CD drive now.

If it was your CD drives prob, this shud help..

this will do

detach the power cable of cd drive

in bios set hard disk in top priority

then reboot

if same error occur your window boot sectors are corrupted(cd drive is ok)

reintnstall windows repair or fresh install(by formatting the whole disk (not only C drive)

if still error occurs then replace the hard disk and install windows on new one

you can also try setting primary secondary drives if you have ide hard disk and cd drive
