Ok my friend brought over his pc and when you turn it on it says missing NTLRD is this something to do with windows or his BIOS?
I also herd that you can fix this by setting all your bios settings to default?
or by doing a repair install of windows with the windows XP CD?

Heh, check first that there is no floppy disc in the floppy drive in the PC..it's a classic!
The other way to fix this is with a non-destructive repair install: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

Im not sure my friend has a windows XP CD because he has pirated Windows XP.
He bought the PC from a small PC store in our city and he dosent know that much about PC's well aneyways the guy installed a pirated version of windows XP on the PC then sold the PC to him for almost 1000$ when its actually worth 500-700$ so i take it he should just buy WinXP and do a clean install? |
