hi guys could you help??? upon restarting my computer around 4 days ago,my pc would not boot up, win xp home, sp2, an error message springs up saying,if memory serves me correct,<win32> root,boot.inf file is missing or corrupt(i wrote this down but for life of me cannot find it) please reinstall file. ok.having no xp disc on hand, i managed to get one off a mate,then in the bios settings i changed the boot order to run from the cd drive first hoping this would install said file then everything would be fine........................wrong,i cannot get past this stage of booup. i even tried using the 'last known good configuration that worked' option to no avail. im now using ubuntu as a temp,maybe permanent measure,but would really like windows up and running again,any help would be appreciated.
