My computer won't boot. It always prompts me to insert system disk. I made
it certain that there is no diskette in the floppy drive and my BIOS is
configured to make the computer boot from the hard drive. I have windows
xp, Compaq system (HP).

A little history. The computer had a problem before. It had similar
problem. But that time the black screen comes and asks to select one of the
followings: boot normally, boot in safe mode, boot form a net work. .. The
problem was a bad memory card. I replaced the memory card and hard drive
and installed windows ex from scratch, from Compaq disks. I installed all
the needed updates. The computer runs well for a while and then I started
to have an error message about file name something like "nwiz" (may be an
application file) the problem started. Some time I think the update my have
something to do with this problem.

nVida nView Wizard - NWIZ.EXE

Nwiz.exe is the nVidia nView Wizard that installs with the drivers for
recent nVidia graphics cards (starting with their 2002 models). NVIDIA
nView multi-display software comes bundled with NVIDIA ForceWare
desktop, workstation, mobile, platform, and multimedia software
solutions.

This program is used to save your custom video settings so they can be
re-applied the next time you reboot your system. This program adds
functionality we believe to be worthwhile. A few of the available
features include creating up to 32 virtual desktops, creating desktops
larger than your screen size, zooming, and supporting dual monitors on
Desktop and Laptop systems. You can learn more about nView Multi-Display
