    I came home to a black screen with the message

    disk error
    press any key to restart

    well, that's all the farther I can get, I hit a key and it posts the message again. I've turned it off and on again, and I get the same error. what do I do?

    yeah, I never use the floppy drive. My little brother had a computer problem and downloaded a hard drive disk check program and left the floppy in the computer. Windows did an automatic update that required a restart, and bam, I'm a dumbass! Thanks for looking, and you're welcome for the laugh.

    I'm not laughing because it happens more than people are willing to admit.

    At least you had the courage to post the solution; others just say problem solved and we have to guess what silly thing might have happened.
