Q: My computer recently turned on the following error message: Em Disk. Disk I/O error. Replace the Disk,and then press any key. Press ENTER to display the boot Failure,reboot and Select proper boot device or Insert boot Media in Selected boot device. and cannot boot Windows 98. How can i solve this problem?
A: The reason for this problem should be that the main boot sector on your hard drive is corrupted, causing the system to fail to boot. You can use the Windows 98 system boot disk to repair the failure. The specific method of operation is:
(1) Make a Windows 98 Startup disk on other computers that have Windows 98 installed, or download the boot Disk production tool to Http://1gighost.net/randyboy/boot98sc.exe.
(2) Press the DEL key to enter the BIOS SETUP, choose to boot the computer from the floppy drive and press F10 key to save the exit.
(3) The system boot floppy disk into the floppy drive and start the computer, after normal boot with the FDISK/MBR command to repair the hard disk's main boot sector.
(4) Then use the SYS A:C: command to pass the system files to the hard disk, then reset it to boot the computer from the hard drive before booting successfully.
