Hi hope someone can help me, my computer seems to have a corrupted system
file, on start up the computer started to show lots of random letters all
over the screen, and basically kept resetting itself. I then after switching
the computer off got through to a screen where it tells me that the system
file is corrupted etc etc and to insert my xp start up cd-rom and press 'r'.
The problem is i cannot get help from microsoft as i can't get the product
id, (obviously because i can't start my computer up to look into the files
for it! Cant get through by using my laptop as it's an OEM product. So what i
really need to know it there anywhere to download and make my own windows xp
start up cd-rom to get this system file fixed? I can't use a floppy disc cos
my laptop only has cd-rom! And i have lost my original XP start up cd-rom so
i am basically screwed!!!
