Hello, if you have the Ultimate, Home Premium and Pro you can download the .iso files at the link below.  Make sure to download the version that is same as yours.

If you do not have one of the versions which versions are not included in the link above, you could ask your friend for his disk and make an .iso image of it, then just burn it to DVD.

I am afraid that with the description you have given, there are not enough facts or information to even take a guess.  Is there any error?  if there is, what is the error?  Have you checked event viewer to check for errors logged there?.  To check your event viewer do the following:

– click on start – type event in the search box and press enter – expand windows logs – check the setup, system and Applications logs – if there are errors, make sure to record the error number and event id so that you can research it or post here

Is there a blue screen when computer crashes?  Does the computer restart? or just freezes?  If you are getting blue screen make sure to record the error and the driver given the error.  If you want to try an troubleshoot the problem, you can use software like the following to debug blue screen errors:

If the computer just restarts, make sure to disable system restarts.  You can do this in two different ways.  First way, would be when restarting keep pressing F8, once the advanced recovery menu appears, scroll down until you reach disable restart at system failure and press enter.  Second way would be doing the following:

– click on windows key + Pause Break – on left hand side menu, select advanced system settings – enter password if needed – under heading startup and Recovery, select Settings – take the checkmark off Automatically Restart – click on ok and ok

Are your drivers up to date?  Have you check by Using Windows update and also the manufacturer’s for graphic, ethernet, chipset, etc?  Have you scanned your computer with your antimalware/antivirus software?  If you get the disk, you can also try using the sfc command.  The system file checker will check the files installed in your computer and compares them with the original files.  If a file is missing/corrupt, it will replace it, so sometimes it is necessary to have the installation disk handy.  To use sfc command do the following:

– click on start – type command prompt or cmd in search bar and press enter – when command prompt opens type the following:

     sfc /scannow

– wait till scan finishes.

There are more things you can try but I would start with the steps above and if for some reason you can not find the culprit/culprits you can post back with more info and we can take it from there.

1 Remove any floppy disks or bootable CDs, DVDs, USB flash drives or other bootable media from the computer. Attempt to restart the computer again. Proceed if you continue to receive the error.
2 Restart the computer again. Press the key required to enter your BIOS setup. (The monitor usually displays a "Press [key] to access BIOS" right after restarting your computer. Press the key shown on your screen.)
3 Navigate to the "Boot Options" or "Advanced" menu by using the arrow keys. (The precise menu terms will vary according to your computer and BIOS type.)
4 Select the hard disk that contains your operating system (usually C:) as your primary boot device. Select your CD/DVD drive, your floppy drive or another hard disk as your secondary boot device.
5 Save and exit the BIOS. Proceed with the next step if you see the "Non-system disk error" message again.
6 Restart the computer. Return to the BIOS' "Boot Options" screen by following the steps above, then set the "CD/DVD drive" as the primary boot device and the hard disk as the secondary boot device. Save and exit the BIOS.
7 Insert your Windows installation disc. Restart the computer. Press any key to boot from disc. Follow the on-screen prompts to reinstall Windows.
8 Replace your hard disk drive if you cannot install Windows. Answered Dec, 21 2010

Most BIOS’s don’t recognize the presence of an SD Card. It may recognize an external reader, in which you could set to #1 in boot priority, but even if you did get it to boot, the average input/output speed of an SD Card is about 15 MB/s… So if your BIOS does recognize your SD Card/Reader, you could burn a Linux Live CD that (preferably) loads into ram instead, such as Puppy Linux, Damn Small Linux and Slitaz

To burn an ISO to an SD Card, use a third party utility such as Pen Drive Linux. Though they support burning to a “USB”, the procedure is similar to an SD card and should be recognized.
