the god damned nvidia video card overheated when i was updating windows XP to service pack 3 and then the computer froze so i restarted it and now it says
"Windows cannot start because the following file is missing or corrupt "NTFS.sys"
I HATE NVIDIA

i cant fix the fan because the little metal rod is stripped and it wont come on, so i have to use a portable black fan to cool the computer |

im already burning a copy of windows xp to a disk
hopefully it will work, since the cd drives on the computer will only recognize certain disks |

Vineshroom is basically correct.
Windows XP is abandonware now and Microsoft don't make any money from people buying second hand licenses for it. |

if you really want to speed up some old computers, i suggest installing puppy linux onto them it's extremely fast for older hardware, and seeing your previous thread that shows you have a few old PCs with pentium 3's and athlon 64's and stuff, they could definitely use an optimized and free OS |

If it's a Nvidia geforce forget replacing that stuff lol. Unless it's some unique computer, you could trashpick a better desktop or find one at a goodwills or whatever they have in America.
