| Re: help something wrong with comp Is this XP or Vista? If it's XP use chkdsk /f which checks the drives and fixes any problems. Use the installation CD to boot and choose repair windows from it. If it's Vista, it has all the utilities needed just pop in the install disk and let it fix itself. Could take a few steps before it's fixed, if it does at all.
