I am getting a black screen that says disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter but I don't have a system disk how do I go about this

Sounds like windows has got corrupt or bios no longer finds the HDD/SSD that it's on. I would start with confirming bios see's the drive and it is set to be first boot device. If it is a failed drive, a system disk won't restore it anyway.

Yes i know, just wonder why the op drive is no longer detected, data corruption, you may fix with a system disk/usb but if the drive is not detected to start with, we are looking at something else. If he/she just reset bios maybe and now won't boot, just needing to restore those settings. I am not going to suggest getting another win 7 install till i know these basics are checked first
