Need Help! Please!

I believe my hard drive crashed or something on my other computer. When I start it up (Windows XP Home) it shows the Windows image, goes to a blue screen with some writing that I miss each time and then reboots.

I used boot disks to get to the C: but cannot do a dir. Could it be just mt boot sector or something?

If I re-install Windows XP, will it replace any bad bootup files, etc.?

Whats your suggestion?

Thanks!!!

Boot up from the XP disk, and do a repair.

You can't do that because all the boot disks can't read NTFS, only FAT32. Do what SLH said. When you repair, it's the second repair, not the first so you would press Enter, F8, R.
