Posted May 28, 201212 yr FPCH Admin My HP Pavillion Desktop computer recently crashed. I attempted to recover it and it stated Missing NTLDR, I contacted HP and they informed me that Since I purchased my computer form Costco they do not support it. I contacted Costco and they told me that it is out of warranty, I caalled HP back, and they informed me that all fo my computer was a RE-FURBISHED one(I did nto know this when I purchased it from Costco), so I was stuck. i dug through my old software boxes which my operating systems date back to windows 3.1, and found my old copy of windows XP Professional, i installed it and now the Microsoft updates will not update stating that my software is too old. I am a disabled vet now ona fixed disability income and cannot afford a new computer or to purchase a new operating system, I was recently enrolled in college through the VA vocational rehab program to upgrade my jobskills to adapt to the new job market starting on June 6th, and I need a working computer to take my classes. How can I get service packs to update my computer please? View this thread Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
