RE: Help!, my computer died
Defective sectors/files.
Form 1: Repair the files already on the computer.
1) Put the Windows CD on the computer and make it boot from the disc
2) Let all the files to load and when the computer tells you to press ENTER to install Windows or R to repair (just after it finishes loading up the files) press R
3) You will now have a black screen, type "CHKDSK /F" and press ENTER
4) The files should be fixed now.
If this doesnt work or want the long way and better way:
Form 2: Reinstall and repair the current installation replacing all the system files
1) put the Windows CD on the computer
2) restart the computer and make it boot from the CD drive.
3) Let everything load until it search for current windows installations on the drives. After this you will see one installation, press R to enter repair mode.
4) It will look like a new reinstallation on windows, but the files are just being repaired, you won't lose any document.
Note: on this way, you might need to install again your drivers (mothearbord chipset, video, sound, network, wireless, etc.)
