Please excuse mental retardation in advance.

Long story short, I'm trying to boot up windows from this disk thing and there's a list that goes something like
Spc) *ACTION*
1) *action*
2)*action*
Etc.

The Spc) *action* is the one I want...how do I select it? Sorry again, I really have no idea as to what I'm doing...Long story short didn't get it. How about the WHOLE story with a lot of details as this is just too vague.All righty. My computer just decided to crash one day, and so I turned it on and soon it crashed again, but this time it showed this blue screen with white writing saying that the harddrive was unreadable (I think) and that it may be due to recently installed hardware (which there was none). Then it said "beginning dump of physical memory" or something close to that, and then it froze, so I turned it off. Then, everytime it would turn on it woudl go to the loading windows screen and then would restart by itself again and again until you turn it off. I got my friend over, and he had the computer boot up from this windows disk that he got from somewhere. It worked, and everything was fine for a little, but then the problem started exactly like it did the last time. So, I tried to boot it up from the cd again and it was goig ok, but the options for the disk are like the ones in my first post. the first listed says spc) Boot up windows, or maybe thats not exactly what it says but I know thats the one I want to do...but I don't know how to select that option, because I don't know what to press that means 'spc'. The other ones you can just press 1, or 2, or 3, or whatever. Sorry, I told you it was a long story, and that Ihave no clue...(he's on vacation, otherwise I'd just ask him)  

Also...I was PLAYING the Sims 2 both times it happened, and my friend also told me that i neede dabout 512 RAM instead of the 128 ive been running. Could that have casued the problem?What are the memory specs for the game? More than that, I'm sure. So with inappropriate hardware all bets are off.yeah, we figured out that I just need to get more RAM, but as of right now i just want to get windows back up and running...Do you have a real WIndows CD to reload, if necessary?I've worked all this out already. What I need to know is, am I looking at THINGS the wrong way, or is there something that I need to know about selecting a choice that starts with spc) ? For example, to select choice 1), I would press the number 1. Is there anything like that?I have never seen anything like this "SPC" phenemenon. Perhaps something was loaded on there or it is a MALWARE infestation. What are you using for virus/spyware protection? Can you boot to SAFE Mode? Is the computer usable?Nevermind, I will get assistance when my friend comes home; I'm probably just misinterpreting something. Thank you for your help.Could "spc" be "sfc"   system file checker?"Spc" turned out to stand for space. As in space bar.
