you deleted your MBR didnt you?
most hackers fuck you over by deleting whats called you Master Boot Record. basically, it tells your computer what to do when you turn it on,
delete this, and your computer is a lump of metal and silicon.

Well there was a conflict somewhere between the boot.ini & some corrupted *.dll files. If the boot.ini file stuffs up the MBR then I guess that was the problem...
Malicia, is your computer partitioned into the C:\ main drive and D:\ HP recovery partition? If so then all of your main Windows files should be backed up on the D:\ drive. To access the recovery menu hit F10 on the HP screen right at the start.
Anyway my computer is now running alot faster, so at least some positive came out of it all

boot.ini is a part of the boot srap, along with 2 other files which, for the life of me i cannot remember, look at the time for reference
