Hi Guys,
Would like some help and advice if possible.
My friends computer gave up the ghost and I have been trying to fix it for him.
The first strange thing is that even though cd drive is set higher than the hard drive it doesn't boot from a cd when inserted.
It will just keep on restarting itself and then eventually after several minutes it will give the error of System32 file folder not found.
I took the drive out and tried it on my computer and it had the same fault so it seems it is definately a hard drive fault.
The strange thing is that I go to where the system32 file should be and it isn't there. But if you try and create a new file with the same name it won't allow it, as it already exists.
Anybody have any ideas ?
I have usually just slung in the cd to restart the computer but as it isn't allowing the cd to kick in I am at a loss as what to do.
Thanks
