That is a shame
Hopefully it will be fixed. Apparantly just some disc is needed but I don't know. I'm not a computer nerd lol
What computer do you have? (Please say a mac)
It's not a mac. it's some PC with Windows XP.
But I turned it on about 2 weeks ago and Windows had vanished from my computer and now it won't start until I fix windows.
Not even with a error message?
Do you have the original operating system disk? 
A blue message flashes up for a second but I cannot read it. But other than that no.
Do you have the original operating system disk?
I thought I did but it's not working.
Ah, the dreaded BSOD:thumbdown Did it do it all the time?
Yeah Zorak kept me up to date with it all
and then I went and had a nosey look around the threads wuhahahaha.
oooops I am Katie. But for some odd reason Zorak was logged in not me
Do what all the time? Flash up? It's only done it a few times. I mainly just keep being sent a black screen asking me how I want to start the computer but none of the options work
So, you DO have the disk but your computer won't read it? I don't pretend to be a geek here. You may need to start a thread in the Computer section. They're pretty helpful here. You may need to reset the Bios so that it first reads the CD/DVD drive first. Where to do that is uncertain. If you start it up, keep pressing down either the F1 or F2 function key. That will generally take you to the Bios. You may see options to change the order of booting. Hopefully, you'll see an option to Save this information. After that, turn off the computer and then insert the disk and reboot. I have no idea if this will help or not. I just got a little info from Google.

Yeah that's what I get. But no matter what I go on, nothing works.

The computer starts to read the disc but then after a while, it stops and nothing works,. And I've tried pressing F1, f2 and f8. Zorak talked me through it but nothing is happening lol
It would be hard to say what is wrong with the computer by not seeing in hand, but sounds like there is something wrong with it deffo
finally, a morning in which the driveway/walkway doesn't need any work on it, now I can concentrate on the inside of the house, which isn't all that bad actually.
I don't want to go to sleep, I don't want to work tomorrow D=
