I'm getting the error "disk boot failure: insert system disk qnd press

Bakerskater23 · Apr 21, 2014

Ok so the desktop pc worked fine but sometimes it did crash on boot up and the keyboard and screen wouldn't switch on.i did somehow fix that by cleaning the pc with a compressed air can(from the outside) Ok so not long ago it started bleeping continuously so I opened it, took out the ram and put them back, cleaned it abit better from the inside and now it's giving the error in the title. Ok I gave up now. Please give me some solutions. Thanks.

(Also I noticed that there seems to be a disconnected piece with 4 holes in there. I couldnt find any slot for it)

It's probably just a spare, unused molex power connector from the PSU, nothing wrong with that. It looks like this:

Make sure the hard drive cables have not come loose.
If they are not loose, test the hard drive with a bootable CD.

Download the CD Image for HGST Drive Fitness Test: http://www.hgst.com/support/downloads/legacy-downloads#DFT

Use ImGBurn to create a CD from the CD Image: http://www.filehippo.com/download_imgburn

Boot your faulty PC from that CD to run the hard drive test.
