Don't call microsoft names. ANd where do you get this $175 from? XP home upgrade costs $100 and comes with 2 free support incidents. Even if you have a pirated copy of xp it only costs $35 for support, so where are getting this number from or are you just making it up? When your car has problems, do you expect a machanic go give you free help? What if you need to visit the doctor, do you ask the doctor for free support? You should consider yourself very lucky im giving you some help. Take your pc into a local shop and they'll charge $100 just to format you drive - no troubleshooting. My friend does consulting and he charges $40/hour. The price microsoft and other companies charge is a BARGAIN.
As far as the restore cd not working, that has nothing to do with ntfs. The restore cd blows out all the partitions then formats 1 partition as fat32. The reason a restore cd might fail is if you've installed new hardware like a cd burner, and the restore cd can't pick up the hard drive. Remove anything you've added to the pc since you've bought it. As far as "operating system not found", what's happening is when you boot the pc the bios takes control of the boot process. Once it's done it looks in the master boot record for the operating system loader. In win9x the file is io.sys, in xp it's ntldr. Once this is found the boot process is transferred to the operating system. If the bios cannot find what file to pass off control, it gives error "operating system not found". The error can be caused by bad hardware, a virus, or a bad master boot record. If you have a bootdisk use fdisk /mbr. If you have a xp cd boot from it, go into recovery console, and use the command fixmbr. If that doesnt help, try reinstalling the operating system. If that doesnt work, check your hardware. Now that wasnt bad was it? -gosh |

I have a right to stand up for microsoft and any other computer i see as a good company. She was lieing saying microsoft charges $175 for help. If i didn't challenge her lies other people visiting this site might believe it's true and be under the impression microsoft does not want to help. Microsoft and other companies have very good support and i just wanted to make that clear.
Unlike you i have a backbone, i'm not afraid to confront people. Obviously this person wasn't telling the truth, otherwise she would have replied defending her statements. If you think microsoft or hp is pricey, call norton sometime, they charge $2/minute for any help. I've seen people that paid $70 to remove norton, now that is a rip off. If you think im rude then good, i dont care at all. I laugh when i read statements like yours. If you want someone nice call microsoft or hp and pay the $. -gosh your friendly tech This post was last edited by gosh on Tuesday, June 11, 2002 at 13:20. |
