My computer is doing all sorts of things it should not do--and neither I or the repair technician can determine what the problem is. I'm afraid I may have to erase the HD and reinstall XP.

Anyhow, yesterday when I tried to boot, a bios screen came up and ended with "Disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press ENTER." I didn't have such a disk, so I turned my computer off and then on. And after a ton of error messages, I got to my desktop and it's still working just fine. This however, has not been a 1-time occurence.

But I have never heard of a boot disk for XP. Is there such an animal and if so, where can I get one?
