Well that kind of depends on what changed. If it is a new hard drive and it has not been partitioned and formatted yet, then you have to boot up to the CD ROM with your operating system so it can partition and format. If nothing has changed it could be anything from a corrupt Master Boot Record to dead hard drive. Try this, put your original Windows into your CD and you will have to boot to that CD ROM first, let the Windows CD run like it is loading, eventually it will stop and ask if you want to load or repair. Click on repair. If that doesn't do it, I can't tell you absolutely to reload the Operating system because that will wipe out any files and programs you have...you may want to take it to the PC repair shop.

It is simply not compatible with your current version or OS. Or it may be due to corrupt sectors in the drive making a read error and making it display that message.


How do you bypass an 'invalid system disk' at startup?

If the computer thinks your C: drive is invalid, you need to reload the operating system. In those conditions the disk has become corrupted or the OS has been trashed by a virus. If you have a disk in either the floppy drive or the CD drive and the computer is trying to bootload from there, just remove the disk and it should boot ok.
