When I turn on my PC, I have this message that appears in white on a black background from the beginning:
"Windows has not been able to start because the following file is missing or damaged:
System32 \ Drivers \ Ntfs.sys
You can try to repair this file by starting the setup program with the Windows XP CD ROM original installation,.
Select "R" in the first screen to start repair. "


So I put the CD windows xp and therefore it restarts
A page with everything written down " lean on any key to start the CD
I support and it does mark blanc "Tshe installation program inpects the hardware configuration of your computer .

I tried to appartement on "R" but it does nothing

But the proposed ordi me pressing F2 or F6
F2 to launch the automatic system recovery (ASR)
F6 to install a pilot FCSI or third party raid

I click several times on F2 and here I have the following message "Insert the hard disk appointed Recuperation automatic system of Windows
in the floppy drive
Press any key when you're ready "
I click and it restarts because I do not have this disk (I do not know what it is)

I click several times on F6 and here I have the following message "An unexpected error <1596873730> occurred in 1768 in line d: \ xpsp1 \ base \ boot \ setup \ arcdisp.c.
Press any key to continue "
I click and it restarts

I click several times on F7 and there I see displayed "loading efficient Executive windows layer of abstraction material debugging kernel" then I have the following message "The file setupdd.sys could not be loaded . The error code is 7. The installation program can not continue "
I click and it restarts again and again


So I do not know what to do

Thanks in advance
