Computer Problems...

UnrequitedNarcis: Do you know anything about computers?
TheoEccles: Not really, but ask away
UnrequitedNarcis: ok. My computer won't work. It stops while loading and says something about a corrupt file
UnrequitedNarcis: my friend told me to use a boot disk, which I did and can get to a screen that says a:\
UnrequitedNarcis: he told me to type d:\ e:\ cd e:\ cd d:\ but nothing would work. That's all he could think of
UnrequitedNarcis: any ideas?

So... yeah. Any ideas on how I can get to E:\ or D:\ because he told me I should be able to. I need to get this POS computer working.

Alright here's what I was able to figure out. So when she boots up her computer It says failed to load windows because sys.exe or what ever is currupt? Insert the windows disk and reinstall it solved. A radom sys file being deleted would fuck things up hard core. So I recommend just reinstalling windows.
