lol sorry, I always use technical terms. I mean that was this doing this when you bought this laptop? Or did you wipe the hard drive(delete all data) and re-install windows?

Please post back the exact text of the error message you are referring to.
Are you experiencing any performance problems at all with the netbook?
Did your netbook come with any recovery media, have you made any Recovery media for it? Read your Manual to understand how this is done, or how to run a full Factory Recovery at bootup.
Which N450 is it?

Weird thing happened
Ok people, a weird thing just happened. It's working now, the operating system is running fine and the computer is working to. I don't exactly know what i did to fix it but it's working now. I just kept going through the format procedure and it was normal! My problem is no more but thanks for trying to help, guys.

When you have a chance, post back a screenshot of your full Disk Mgmt drive map with listings so we can look over your config for you.
Use Snipping Tool in Start menu, attach file using paper clip in Reply Box.
You can reach Disk Management by typing it in Start Search box, maximize window, draw a rectangle around the listings and drive map.
