I went to use my computer and it won't boot up. It's a Sony Vaio VCS411. I get an error message : Windows unable to start because of missing or corrupt system32 ntfs files. XP came pre-installed, so how do I reboot the sysytem without a disc?
HELP!!!

You must either enter your Recovery partition on your hard disk if it exists and copy over the system32/drivers/ntfs.sys file, or use a bootable cd such as an XP installation cd to copy that file from its i386 folder. Borrow one.
