I have no Windows install disk. I am unable to boot into the Windows partition, and a PC Tech is not the answer. Should I switch to Ubuntu Linux?What to do when I have no Windows install disk, and have major problems with the system? Switch to Linux?
Assuming you 'paid for' and are the owner of a legitimate copy of Windows, you can borrow someone elses copy (of the same version), install it, then enter your product key which should be on a sticker on your PC.
If that is your only solution. Ubuntu is supposedly the most user friendly Linux deployment.
I personally would buy an OEM Windows online, fairly reasonable priced from a licensed software dealer.What to do when I have no Windows install disk, and have major problems with the system? Switch to Linux?
Try downloading PowerMax4.23 at Maxtor.com to a floppy disc. Insert the disc and re-boot your computer. Folllow the
instructions and it will erase your hard drive. You can then install Ubuntu. You can get it at Ubuntu.com and it's easy to install and use.
WARNING: This will erase everything on your hard drive!!
Good Luck,

There are several Linux flavors that u can choose on, if u decided to switch. Mandriva 2007, Ubuntu Feisty Fawn and Fedora 6 are one of them.What to do when I have no Windows install disk, and have major problems with the system? Switch to Linux?
1. If the problems started happening only recently, consider restoring to a previous Restore Point.
2. If you have a legitimate Windows license or the original vendor who sold you the software can provide the proof you should have a legitimate license, you can order replacement media directly from Microsoft
