NTLDR is missing press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart
Jess Maree:
The PC came with XP, but then we upgraded to Vista, so we trashed the disks. Mother didn't like Vista, so she got some techie type person who came over and put XP on it again, that's why we don't have the XP disks.
We've spent ages fixing and upgrading the shitbox, if I had my way I'd just buy a new PC. Or I'll just get Vista.
I might be getting the sister's laptop (she's "bored" with her current one and wants a new one) so I mightn't need a new desktop anyways.
Ryslin:
I wonder what kind of reinstall the techy did.
At this point I am for your idea of getting Vista. I think a REAL INSTALL of an OS is the only way to fix it at this point. Who knows what jumbled amount of OS back and forth is there between Xp to update VISTA back to XP.
I wonder if a real format was ever done on this drive.
IF you do decide to get vista, I strongly suggest the cold hard format the disk option when you start the install process. Better to lose everything now then to get something half assed up and running only to crash again.
jolrei:
If she asks, tell your sister that you borrowed XP disks from a friend or some other such story. Lying about it is even easier than torrenting, and a child of 12 can torrent. Coincidentally...
Torrenting does take a bit of time, depending on your intarwebz speeds. I count on about 4-6 hours for any TS2 EP, possibly a bit less for Windoze XP, on a reasonably fast ADSL hookup. You will want to tie up and gag your sister and dump her in the hall closet during this period.
"Honestly sis, my friend said I had to put you in the closet or she wouldn't let me borrow her XP disks."
You may need a better story than this.
J. M. Pescado:
Tell them it's part of installing the new service pack.
Jess Maree:
I'm going to get Vista ASAP. I need my computer back, damn it! I might torrent the actual game, although the sister has the disks.
It'll be up and running before the end of the week. Thank God.
