Ok, I think my crappy PC finally died on me..

I put the computer into standby. Normally, when I take it out of standby by moving the mouse, it goes back to the Windows XP user login screen without a problem.

That didn't happen this time.

This time, the computer sounded like it was starting up, not coming out of sleep mode. It showed the HP logo (it's an HP computer). Then, in DOS:

DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.

What the #$!@ happened. Has the time come to hold a funeral for this computer and all of the data on it? Or is there a simple way to do this.

Please don't tell me it just reformatted itself....

All I have is this:

DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

Probably used...

Oh no...

Wait..... maybe I can still help.... Give me a few mins... We can try replacing the boot files (cause they might be screwed up) and I'll try sending them to you.. it's been a while so let me see what we'll need...

brb...

There's no way I can get the files onto the computer.

I should have asked who your computer manufacture is... Problem with that is that was a problem someone was having with a 6 week old PC. My computer is 10 years old. I assume there's a difference.

WOW... 10 years old? You need an upgrade... [EDIT] By upgrade I mean a new computer.. :P

However, if you are using XP then it doesn't really matter. But being that your computer is as old as it is, you may have bad sectors on your hard drive. This happens a lot and that just means that your HD is losing it's magnetism and it's spreading.

Is the computer that you are on now, yours?

I tip my hat to Nintendo... Here I'm such a PC exclusive guy so I miss out on the features of consoles.

If I was in your position (I'd build a new computer but if you dont' know how to do that), I'd see what deals I can get locally around town for a new computer. It all comes down to what you use your computer for. If you just use it to get online and use some office stuff like a word processor or saving pictures and stuff... then you can find a decent one for about $300+ at Wal-Mart or somewhere.

This is how I am. I'm the type that saves up money for a few months and try to get around $3k at the least (mainly because I use my computer for everything from playing games to 3D-CAD programs to video editing, music recording, photo editing, etc..). Then I buy components from directron.com or somewhere like that and build my computer from scrach (which isn't as hard as it sounds)....

... but keep in mind that I'm a computer enthusiast and I got crazy over stuff like this..

If your monitor, keyboard, and mouse are in good shape.. look for a local retailer that will sell you just the tower. You might be able to save a hundred or two.

Alas, without the XP disk, there really isn't much (if anything) we can do.. and even at that I can't guarantee that I could get you up and running..

Thank you very much. Any idea if it's possible to retreive anything from the hard drive?

If not, then crap. I'm gonna have to pray to God that the GameMaker Company will give me a replacement code for GameMaker 7. abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I'm sorry that I couldn't help though...

Oh.. BTW... I did play your demo on yoyogames and I really like it...

I'm currently starting a game project using Multi Media Fusion 2 (which is a little like Game Maker 7). My first game isn't going to be Tron related but I really would love to make a Tron game if I can do something nifty with what I'm working on now... I hope to have something done by this winter..

Well.. it's not really hard to do. If you got your hands on a USB hard drive adapter, it's like sticking in a USB flash drive or SD card.. but it's a hard drive instead.

I might be able to help you out with something though.. check your PM's...
