Re: Computer (Windows XP) Problem
Your issue sounds moderate serious.

I think you will either need to reinstall windows, or try and use a windows recover disk to "repair" (it will actually replace) the broken files.

If it were me, i would use a Linux Live-CD to access the drive and copy my valuable data off first. Or mount the drive as a SLAVE HD in another windows machine and copy data off that way.

In either case i think you will want to back up data, and then either attempt to repair or reinstall.
