 * Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS
When you are starting Windows 95, you may receive the following error message:

Non-System disk error.

CAUSE
This error message can occur if you are using an LBA (logical block addressing) BIOS-only controller with an older hard disk for the boot drive, causing incorrect drive parameter translations in hard disks that are not LBA addressable.

RESOLUTION
Use the newer LBA drive as the boot drive instead of the older drive.
