im not stealing it. i just crashed my comp and it keep saying re-installing your computer will be the best way to fix the problem

[hfcg]

If you need help with repairing the machine we will do that.
But for future knowledge, downloading some one elses Windows is stealing.
Please tell me what happened,
What changes where made to your computer before it happened,
And any error messeges from the blue screen.

Many computers have all the files you need to repair or reinstall on the hard drive, and unless the drive itself completely fails you may not need a software CD to reinstall. But to know what to do we need to know the make and model of your machine. You can also go to the maker's website and put your model information in and look at the instructions for reinstalling or repairing Windows.

I DONT HAVE A CD OR FLOPPY DISK AND IT SAYS...

Error message 1
Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.

Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.

[hfcg]

Then you will need to use a computer that has a CD, or buy a copy of XP, or use some one elses copy of XP to use the recovery console.
You can not use some one elses copy of XP to reinstall.
If you do not have a CD than how where you going to use a downloaded copy of XP?
