Tried to run system recovery on a PC with Windows XP that I replaced and want
to donate to a school. Went to quick format to erase all data files and
installed applications. Recovery started but stopped (several times) at
between 16% and 18% completed, always on a Windows\I386\ file, but never the
same one. The screen flickers and the process stalls. Starting over (F-10)
doesn't help, same result. Rebooting normally gets a DOS message "NTLDR is
missing" CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart, which goes back to the same message. Can't
reboot, can't run recovery. This PC will be usless unless this problem can be
resolved. Any ideas????
Thanks,
Dave G.

Each computer maker uses their own system recovery method - this is not
part of Windows. If the manual that came with your computer doesn't
describe how to do a system recovery you should contact the computer
maker for help.
