I am experiencing boot problems so I tried to use my Recovery CD which came
with my PC. However, when I boot from this cd it says it is a non-system
disk. How can I get the PC to boot from this disk?

PS. The PC and Recovery disc is by ADVENT.

Thanks
Rory.

Set your Bios so that the first boot device is the CD-Rom
Place your recovery disc one into the top drive.
Restart or start up your computer.
Press “R” for Recovery Options

Actually the error message seems to indicate the pc is trying to boot
from the cd. Assuming there isnt a floppy left in the drive and the pc
is trying to boot from it.
