Hello,
No idea what is up with my pc and I am not pc literate! It's an old machine, but was fine for what I wanted (when it was working!).
A 'friend' supposedly wiped it completely and re-installed xp, when I turn it on it goes to invalid BOOT.INT.file and stays there.
Neither F8 nor F10 does anything and it will not run from a disc in the drive.
At some point it said Booting from C:\windows\
I only have the original System Recovery discs myself, although they have XP on them, but it won't run from them if it's in the cd drive, so I can't even attempt the complicated repair other posts mention.
Would really appreciate some help here, thanks.
