Possible hardware failure such as floppy or hard disk or memory fault.  Some BIOSes will give this error if they don't find the hardware the same as it was before.

Another possibility is battery failure.

You need to get into the BIOS and check the settings out.  Usually this is done by pressing the DEL key (this is the most common key for most systems, yours could differ) as soon as the screen flashes it's usual messages.

Once in the BIOS check the date.  If it is 1980 then the problem is probably battery.
if it isn't date see if you can get the BIOS to check that your hard disk is there.  If it can't find it then ...

I would agree with cooker, till u change ur battery, log on into your BIOS setup define the Hard drive first, coz it is no more existing as there is no Battery, when you done save your BIOS setting and log out, good luck

What did you do prior to it giving you this error? That is have you changed any hardware ect. Dave
You can also try setting the bios settings to defualt. Generally all BIOS have a failsafe or default configuration. This will help if it is not a battery failure. Also can u tell the exact error message ??? and also what BIOS do u have??/
