I was having problems on my computer so i tried doing a system restore, but when it loaded it said that the hard drive could not be found. And now i can't even start the computer without asking for the boot disk can I get some help to try and fix this.

If you have data on the HDD that you wish to try and secure try Puppy Linux http://www.geekstogo...over-your-data/
Has the HDD been making any unusual noises or working erratically previous to this happening?

um i hear noise from it but its a older computer and it was glitching out to the point where i could not use it, so I had no choice but to do a system restore.

And also i don't care if the data on there get erased as long as i don't have to reinstall the OS

Try a System Restore using the disk that you can burn following the guidance below;

Please download ARCDC from Artellos.com.

• Double click ARCDC.exe
• Follow the dialog until you see 6 options. Please pick: Windows Xp
• You will be prompted with a Terms of Use by Microsoft, please accept.
• You will see a few dos screens flash by, this is normal.
• Next you will be able to choose to add extra files. Select the Default Files.
• The last window will allow you to burn the disk using BurnCDCC

Your ISO is located on your desktop.

Thanks to Artellos for the above
