Hi folks, First of all im glad to find a Forum full of people who have an understanding of what i see at the moment as a world of complicated jargon. I am badly in need of some expert advice here which would be much appreciated.
As the story goes..
Since around 2005 I was the happy owner of an average Desktop (Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo P-320 Desktop) operating windows XP home edition. This computer served me well as specially the package it came with, Nero, Office, many programmes.
I looked after it well for years, I replaced the hard drive once with a slightly larger one back in around 2007 which worked fine without any problems.
HOWEVER in 2011 PC still in pristine condition, whiles watching a video on youtube one night the PC crashed, switched off, restarted with what i now know as the blue screen of death, no matter what i done I got these constant blue screen messages and codes, after a day or two, in a panic, I resorted to trying to reboot from the recovery disk which came with the system, off course in the process I lost ALL my files a lot irreplaceable which was devastating.
I tried to reboot a few times however each time the reboot was almost complete it would fail and say things like file esent97.dll was not copied ive included a few pics I took a the time of the messages.
Well I gave in baught a new windows 7 laptop which isnt bad but just does not match up to my old PC and XP. I have been using this since but miss my old desktop and recently thought surely it must be repairable, the whole thing is still in fine condition. So the other day I set it up and was planning to look at this problem again however as soon as I turn the power on a message now pops up on a black screen saying (NTLDR is missing press any key to restart) and when I do the same thing keeps happening.
I am confused and when trying to research i find there are many different people talking about many different systems and many different causes.
I am pleading with anybody to tell me if there is a solution to reviving this pc, like for example will replacing RAM and the Hard drive help.
if anybody could give me some experienced advice it would be much appreciated and so helpful.
Cheers
