I'm getting this "Boot Disk Failure, Insert Boot Disk And Press Enter" message at random times while working on a family computer. I'm forced to reboot when this happens. This message comes up as the computer runs normally, with Microsoft Word, a web browser, and a couple other things open as I work; it boots up normally.
