Are both computers running the same Operating System?
Whether this is so, name the Operating Systems for each.

Need to know which operating system...

One computer is a Compaq, the one that's running is a E-Machine. The
compaq one crashed and only has a flashing line in the left hand
corner.Can I make a boot disc from this one? I tried to use the CD
that came with the E-Machine but it doesn't work. Both computers are
Windows XP (Xtra Problems)

you can go here http://directcch.com/downloads/bootimages.html and
download the last file, xpboot.exe. This will make a bootable winXP
disk for you. If this works I would appreciate you accepting this as
an answer so I might be paid for my services.

If you click on your start menu on the working computer, goto Programs
-> Accessories -> System Tools -> Backup, Click on the Emergency
Repair Disk. That should work.
