massive problem with my pc - HELP

also looks like it might be a hardware problem.

0x00000024: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A problem occurred within NTFS.SYS, the driver file that allows the system to read and write to NTFS file system drives. There may be a physical problem with the disk, or an Interrupt Request Packet (IRP) may be corrupted. Other common causes include heavy hard drive fragmentation, heavy file I/O, problems with some types of drive-mirroring software, or some antivirus software. I suggest running ChkDsk or ScanDisk as a first step; then disable all file system filters such as virus scanners, firewall software, or backup utilities. Check the file properties of NTFS.SYS to ensure it matches the current OS or SP version. Update all disk, tape backup, CD-ROM, or removable device drivers to the most current versions.

You might convince yourself that you know more, but I'm sure that no one reading this forum would believe you.

I am outside, sitting on my verandah looking out to sea. Thanks for your concern.

Did School not work for you?

Either approach should work.
If I was you
1st I'd go with the Live CD, it's quicker and easier and unless you've been setting file permissions on files or encrypting them with xp then it won't do any harm.
2nd If 1 doesn't work then it's probbaly a hardware failure, so get your screwdriver out and find a mate that has a pc that will let you put it in their machine or take it to your local pc shop.
