              1: What the fff is all that about??? All that crap below your reply I mean, get a life mate
              2: no info on google abt the pace sv5 rang asda they have no idea what i was talking about,
              3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

                        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.
