On the Amiga 500 you could get weird messages like if you accidentaly removed a disk from df0: while the drive was writing to it you would get something like: "You MUST insert volume blabla in drive df0: !!!" (I'm almost certain there was three !!!) :)

The Red Screen of Death! Saw this while installing the prerelease version of longhorn that had the new bootloader on top of the previous build of longhorn. Best part was the spelling error in 'exectuion'.

Three times this year I've had to repair my XP because it said on load that it could't find my system32 folder. Yet it existed. XP is a lazy procrasinator.
the most fucked up tho is still macos 8.1 with "i'm sad because a system error appeared" (rough translation from hungarian)

An old favourite of mine, from a rusty PII-based heap at work..

"UNEXPECTED HEAP ERROR" - This copy of Windowze was under the delusion it was running on a nicer PeeCee than this one, found out it wasn't, and promptly fell over!

I've always loved that "Something's wrong with the pipeline" error message.
