Ok I’m running Windows Xp pro sp2 and a day ago i got this error with a blue background saying windows encountered a serious error and my comp restarted. I couldn’t read the whole thing because it only flashes for about a second. When My computer booted back up it said that my floppy drive failed to load press f1 to continue so I did, well windows booted back up and said “windows has recovered from a serious error” but then about 30 min later the error came back up. SO I system restored. For about an hour that worked. After I got the error again I shut down my comp and opened it up, I noticed the fan on my graphics card wasn’t spinning it was broken. SO I replaced it and the new one works just fine. I thought that had fixed the issue so I reversed the effects of system restore. Then about 3 hours later I get the error again. This time after restart and boot up another error came up and said “cannot boot windows file WINDOWS\system32\config\SYSTEM is corrupted or missing” I don’t have recovery disk. so I couldn’t just recover. Thats the first problem. The second problem has to do with my bios. When I go into my bio settings from boot up I try to change the boot order but it wont let me the options aren’t highlighted. so I cant set the boot order. I’ve also tried to just reformat but I got the message that it cant detect a “hard disk drive”. So im just wandering if there is an answer to this so maybe I can get closer to getting my comp working again. Tank you
ps im using a sata hard drive i think id need to reinstall the hd maybe but i dont have the floppy disk needed is there a way i can down load and make a bootable floppy with the files needed on it?
