Hello All,
 I don't know if anyone can help with this problem or not. I have a computor which was bought from one of Canada's biggest computor suppliers. It started having major problems a few months ago. I finally formatted the hard drive and now the problem seems much larger!!
All I have is a recovery disc suppied by the company..it does nothing.  
When I boot the computor I get a message saying no operating system.
 The files are(or were, I should say) ntfs not Fat32,a change that I made..to haha speed up the computer!! I have windows 3.1 (full version) and the windows 98 upgrade disc. It will not accept these either. I've tried  partition magic......won't load......and many other things even a recovery disc from the most reputable computor company ....Which supplied my new computor.
I have 2 questions:
1) Can any one save this machine as it now is?
2) I've been assured that if I buy the full version of Windows XP Home that it will install ,Do you think that is correct??
I can't get a dos prompt or anything, only that there is no operating system,or when I try and load Windows 3.1 that it is a non system disc.
It came with With Windows XP Home pre-installed.
Thanks,
 Mike Berry
