Windows Phone Boot Error Says “Insert Your Windows Installation Disc” [PIC]

F-Secure Chief Risk Officer Mikko Hyppönen has just tweeted a photo of his Windows Phone 8 smartphone which apparently crashed during boot up showing an error screen that says “Insert Your Windows Installation Disc”. The only question is, where? (via The Loop).

“Windows Phone failed to boot. Please insert your Windows installation disc…”: twitter.com/rkkski/status/…#wontfit

The error screen displays the classic vanilla Windows error message indicating that something went wrong with the OS during the boot process. According to the error message, the first step to recover from the problem is to “Insert your Windows installation disc”, followed by a restart. Well, the irony here is pretty much self explanatory isn’t it? 😉
