Specifically, it's pathetic because it's grammatically ambiguous and requires additional knowledge.
It could easily be parsed grammatically as, "There was an error on the non-system disk or the disk" which makes no sense. Even when you parse it the way it was intended, you need to know that the PC tried to boot from a disk drive in order to comprehend the message.
