Hello Eunice,
Thank you for all of the information, more is typically better :)
It is my understanding that:
- You were having problems <unknown> so you created a recovery disk on
another machine and used it on you machine.
- Now you are having no-boot issue with a "missing or corrupt" on ntfs.sys
error message.
- OR you performed the recovery disk step after getting the "missing or
corrupt" on ntfs.sys error message.
Irregardless of exactly what order you took, if you used a recovery disk
(Emergency Repair Disk I am assuming, created via the NTBackup utility) from
another machine, choosing to do a "Repair" in setup, an in-place upgrade
seems to be your only option at this point. Please see the following article
for step on doing an in-place upgrade.

Please understand that ERD disks are particular to the machine they were
created on, meaning... if you create ERD disks for computer A & computer B,
use the computer A ERD to recover computer A & use the computer B ERD to
recover computer B. An ERD created on your computer cannot be used (except
in r-a-r-e cases) to repair other systems. This is due to the specific,
per-computer information that the ERD saves.
Also, at this point I do not really believe that there are any noted
indications that your harddrive is faulty.
Cheers,
