It sounds like NT is trying to run a program / process from the A: drive. From what I am reading here, NT starts to load and just before you get the login-in prompt it wants a disk in A:. What happens if you put a disk in A:? Do you get a message about not being able to find a program? Do you have an Anti-Virus program that is looking for a floppy and not being smart enough to realize it is not there?

My PC is only about a month old, and it didn't ask for a disk in A at first. The system clock seems fine. It is Windows NT. I get the message just before I get the "hit ctrl-alt-delete to log in" window, and the desktop behind it looks like Windows - greenish, not blue or black.

It sounds like maybe you lost your settings in your BIOS.
Is your system clock also off? If your system is old enough
for the battery to have run down (say, three years or so?), then it may need a new battery. ...
You probably need to supply us with more particulars on your
system.

When I restart my PC, it comes up with an error "System Process - No Disk" "There is no disk in Drive A" (Abort, Retry, Ignore). I don't recall any major changes around that time. I tried turning off the "floppy disk" checking on my virus scan (InoculateIT); that didn't matter.
Any ideas why it's doing this?
