re: Windows file Protection - replaced or unrecongnized Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 5:25 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Sgt (1525 messages posted) You need to buy a copy of XP and reinstall or possibly reformat. "i was wondering if i download a bootleg windows disk for xp. and using that. would you think that might work? "..No it won't work! I would imagine since the computer was neglected, it also built up a substantial amount of Malware. Which could be causing your 'file protection issues'. Or possibly the numerous restarts due to overheating caused the OS corruption. Hard to tell..You should probably just buy a disc and start fresh and hope no hardware was damaged from the overheating.
