" It'S iN tHe GaMe..."
My friend has a computer which is aroun 7 years old. From the past two years it's gone berserk and keeps giving him trouble on a regular basis.
It's mostly the OS. It has been formatted and reinstalled numerous times but it keeps coming back with different problems. sometimes it keeps rebooting, or it hangs too much, or the boot.ini file is missing. This time it came up with the "NTLDR missing. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart" message. I installed windows 7 which worked fine but was lagging due to limited hardware. It had XP SP2 then XP SP3..but the problem seemed to be on all of them.
So...my question is could it be the hard disk or any other hardware which might be causing the problems. should i change the hard disk ???
