I wish I hadn't told this lady I'd look at her computer. I can't connect to the Internet, could you look at that? Why, sure! I bring it home and plug it up, and the first thing it says when it boots up is "Hard drive failure imminent!" which she didn't mention when she gave it to me. It booted up okay a few times, but now the HDD has completely failed or is close to it. The system won't even post correctly half the time, and when it does it just says some system files are missing, re-setup Windows. I tried to reinstall XP, but the installation just locks up. So not only did I not fix it, but it's gone from "The Internet Won't Work" to "Doorstop", and I know I'm going to be blamed for this.
