: Apparently it needs a new startup disk...I turn it on, and it shows a little disk with a question mark, and that's it...I started freakin' out! So I called my cousin, and he said that my computer is confused because it's been turned off for so long (since May), and it doesn't recognize the hard drive...so weird. Has this ever happened to anyone before? My computer doesn't like me anymore ):
and it is unlikely that the explaination given to you from your cousin could happen. You probably had something corrupt in the boot sequence. A missing file maybe? It could of been a bad read? What version of Window or OS390 do you have?
