Need help, lost my OS

Hi,

My apologies if this is the wrong tribe to ask for help with this. I'm not sure where else to go...

First off, I am a MAC guy who can use Windows. I have a MAC G5 tower (my I-net machine) and a laptop made by Notebook Computer. I bought this used with an OEM version of Windows XP Pro on it. No OS disc. The machine ran fine for a number of months and then froze up one day playing Halo. The bios page came up after a while and said it could not find the operating system. Since then I have had no luck getting it to run.

I purchased a repair disk from pcbegginer.com ... their Utilities Suite 2007. It's not helping a whole lot.

I was wondering if anyone out there might care to point me in the right direction so I can get my machine repaired? I'm pretty good at working things out and if it doesn't require any expensive tools and or text books, would like to repair the machine myself.

Thanks in advance and again, my apologies if I am posting this request for help in a bad place.

Happy New Year!
