I turned my computer on one morning and All that came up was that coouldn't find Operating system. So I went on line found a couple of hints that got me to the point of; Ntdlr is missing, found a download to floppy 4 that, on and on... I'm to the point where it tells me that the <windows root>\system32\hal.dll. is corrupt or missing................... I went on ebay and bought a recovery (or two...Rip offs!) ... :whistling:
