To resolve this problem, replace the missing or corrupted Ntfs.sys file:
Use the Windows XP startup disks or the Windows XP CD to restart your computer.
When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to select the To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R option.
Type the number of the Windows installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console, and then press ENTER.
Type the administrator password when you are prompted, and then press ENTER. If no administrator password exists, just press ENTER.
At the command prompt, type the following commands (press ENTER after each command):
--->cd \windows\system32\drivers
--->ren ntfs.sys ntfs.old
Note This step renames the corrupted Ntfs.sys file to Ntfs.old. If the Ntfs.sys file is not found, the file is missing.
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:copy cd:\i386\ntfs.sys drive:\windows\system32\drivers
Where cd is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive that contains the Windows XP CD, and drive is the drive where you installed Windows XP.
Remove the Windows XP CD from your CD-ROM drive, type quit at a command prompt, and then press ENTER to quit the Recovery Console.
I'll give you a link below to a copy of your user's manual.Once it loads and opens,hit the Download for free tab and you can save a pdf copy so that you have it.
I checked,on pg 61 it says it's a standard IDE Hdd,mounted into a bracket.I'd think that you'll just need to swap out the dead one,make sure you put the bracket on right.Upside down sometimes hurts.
There are sketches of how it comes out and all,it shouldn't be a major problem.
It also has the Sys. Restore steps right after that section,ir's all in the book.

also ensure that you have the latest updates for the browser you are using, as well as Adobe Flash and Java.
If you use the Chrome browser by Google, it has Flash built into it.
using older versions of the above will increase your page-load times.
Did you try flashing the EDID ROM ? You need a .bin from another h5360 user.
Try reading this post, two links available of people posting some.
I gave you the link of the post 'cause I thought you might wanna read it.
It seems to work, as a lot of people are saying that it does.
Give updates ;)
Have you updated drivers for the modem or wifi on the system? Depends on the version of windows you have but if u go to search in the start panel and look for devices
and it should show a list of the hardware on your system. Your are looking for anything to do with your modem or the type of wifi connecter on your system. If you don't know do a quick searchon google and look up your pc type and the ask about the type of wifi to specific to your pc. Should give info and then you know what are looking for. Then click on the plus or drop down beside the name of the modem or wifi hardware and click it. A window will open up. Your are looking to the tab with update drivers. Do that and the save everything then restart pc and make sure your wifi is on and setup then try to connect. If that isn't working go to modem or router website and check for updates there specific to your op system and pc . Good luck hope works out.
uninstall whole laptop drivers in device manager one by one, then close device manager, restart and wait for boot, and then as goes in windows follow reinstallation of all drivers, it must install automatically
If you can't find one from the emachines websites' support section, then you may need to purchase an OEM copy of the OS it is using (usually cheaper than the full versions) and just download the drivers from the emachine website. If you know someone that has an OS disc matching what you have (i.e. Windows 7 Home Premium) then you can use that one and type in the windows product key from the sticker on your pc.
