Hi,
Searching for common knowledge here!
After having the same alarm and message about the wrong disk for the messages, have now a blank black screen with message to replace disk "non-system disk error".
Is it only a question of replacing the the diskette underneath?
Thank you in advance,

I get those failures with both my Philips Safecom and my chart plotter. Each time I re boot...sometimes it takes several reboots ....to fix. Im not a computer guy but I think what has happened is that your hard disc is fragmented . My systems are all MsDOs. There is a command to defrag or ask a computer guy whats up. Ive tried to fix computers with spanners and vise grips but no luck. Best get a computer guy. The best Computer guys are 12 years old, ride skateboards and look like Bart Simpson

I had a similar issue about a year ago all that was required was a new floppy disc. Not easy to find these days. I am told that after some time the ability of the disc to record data diminishes and become unusable, you can try a defrag which may work for a while.

As per Azza, good luck with the disk hunt though (we now have a stash of 20 as a result, SXM if you're same)
