Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my laptop. On startup, he says that some system files
are missing and asks me to place the XP system recovery cd. But when i place
that cd, it asks me to format the harddisk. I dont wanna do that b'cause I
have some important files on the harddisk. What can I do?
Thank you very much
