|
|
Ok i was doing system recovery, and then i got to where it said it cant read the disk, so i tried to just restart the pc and make new recovery disks, but now it says NLDR is missing. And my only option is f10 for system recovery, but it just goes straight to insert disk 2. Help me? _________________

Seems to me like a hard drive problem. I think I remember something like this from a previous thread. _________________

Grab the Windows Cd, and boot of it... Now it come's to a blue screen, loads a bunch of crap.
Now after than you hit, "R" to goto the recovery console, I don't think you need this but it should help you out anyways,
Type, C: and press enter if C: is the drive windows is installed on.
Now type Chkdsk.
If it says theres problems with it, then you need to chkdsk -r
Which repair the HDD, if it is a old computer, and average estimiated HDD life time is about 4 years.
After that fresh install XP. _________________
