Better solution is by external CD-Rom or DVD-Rom drives and change boot priority in bios system.
Old personal computer also work better with this solution.
More slower but effective.

ive tried pressing f8 wot ever ichoose still saying the following file is missing or corrupt
system32\drivers\ntfs.sys
you can attempt to repair this file by startring windows setup using the original setup cd rom and select r
but i dont have one tried to download one off a torrent site ?
1 not sure if i did it right because they wont boot
it is set to boot from external drive because i borrowed a copy of windows xp it booted up then stops after about 3 mins saying it had to stop to not cause any damage to the computer?
just wanted to kown if i could download it from anywhere and it has to simple because im abit thick when it comes to computers thanks again.

Just get some USB external HDD and ask someone to do it boot and active partition , for some HHD on internet is nice utility for make XP or Win7 on HDD usb as OS...
I am sorry my english is bad and not natural language but I hope I am help maybe a little.
