While booting, a computer looks at a number of available disks (floppies, CDs, harddisks) to see if they contain a bootable operating system. Older PCs would always boot from the harddisk, unless a floppy was present, and if that floppy didn't contain an operating system (like DOS), it would give this error message so you could remove the floppy and the computer could go on booting from the harddisk.

During the initial stages of Booting of a Computer, if Master Boot Record (MBR) cannot be found on the Hard disk the Non-System Disk error is shown.

This can be due to corrupted MBR/Filesystem on the boot disk.

What is a medium write error?

The word 'medium' is used to talk about the hard drive or optical drive. A 'write error' means that when the computer tried to write some data to the disk, it got an error message from the drive saying that the data was not written to the disk successfully. In either case, there is a serious problem that must be found in order to use the medium. If it is a hard drive, use Disk Utility to check and repair the disk.
