I have a 5 year old Compaq with OEM Win XP Home. The screen had an error
message that Windows couldn't load because of a missing or corrupt file. I
did a factory reset with the Recovery CD but it won't get past a
"non-system disk error". I believe this is because I changed out the
original CDRW for a new one. I don't have the old one, am I just plain
s.o.l. ? lol or is there a way to change the boot sequence, disconnect the
new CDRW or some other work around to get the OS loaded?
I just want to use it to store some stuff as I have a new laptop, and
everything important on the old desktop was backed-up so it's not a crisis
but I would like to continue using it for minor stuff if I can.
Thanks,
Glenda
