It is a disk that allows you to boot up your computer if your normal method using the hard disk is not working or you deem it safer to boot up from a start-up disk because of a virus risk or other problem. A start-up disk contains all the necessary data to enable your machine to boot. Depending on the circumstances, you can then do whatever is necessary to get your computer back to normal operation.

The fix could be that you are using the wrong startup disk. When you turn your PC or mac on press f1 repeatedly until you come to the startup menu.
