It just means that according to the boot order set in CMOS, it can't find a bootable disk
or it finds a floppy disk, but can't find a boot sector

1. Check whether there's a floppy disk in there; pull it out and tap it a couple of times (maybe the floppy will die even faster)
2. Check whether the CMOS boot settings include drive C; if not, tap the keyboard twice
3. If it still doesn't work, let the head tap the hard disk 512*8 times then (write the boot sector)
Somehow somewhere I've got to choose.
No matter if it is win or lose.
