I start up my computer then that safe mode or normal start up etc.. stuff comes up i do normal and then it wont continue because it says it windows cannot find this certain file..

computer was running fine i turned it off next time i came to turn it on it comes up :P
And i can't go past that point but i can do all the delete (bios setup) and all other ones on start up its just that it stops after startup.

Any help please??

err what file talking about, boot.ini by any chance?

WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/CONFIG/SYSTEM

I think you need to put the windows disk in and boot off that, then do a windows repair, you may have to get someone to help you with that

yip i know what you on about boot from CD.

But i tryed it then it said it could be done or some problem then took it to my m8's dad hes an expert. then same problem came to him :P

now hes taking to to his work to ask his m8's because they more of a nerd about computers then him.
He said i might need to restart
i got no data off it what so ever and there is heaps :P

but i was thinking couldn't you take the drive thing out that his al the information and put it in another computer and get data then restart it ??

thanks for that any way m8.

yes you can put the drive in another machine and copy all the data off it.

Just got the news.

He said for some reason a virus got through to windows files and stuffed it up.
But i didn't have a good virus thats why only had norton.
He said he can fix it with xp disc by using repair but it didn't work because disc was little scratched.

And because i only have got 1 drive then i can't copy data off it as thats were windows files were.

So i have to restart i lost everything and didn't have anything on disc so lost everything

They are going to put a really good virus on for me.
and im going to buy a new drive .

so i can put all my games on that drive and window files on other drive so if it happens again i can get game files and restart then im sweeeet.

Thanks for the help any way m8.

If they wiped your drive without backing up your data then that is pretty poor. Maybe you should find a better "IT Crowd".

Pays to have some good virus protection / not fiddle with your computer / take it to professionals when you have a problem
