Is that the error message you are getting. Something like: "Problem starting Windows, x file is either damaged or missing"?

My computer doesn't come that far it shows this message:

Windows can't be booted because this file is damaged or missing: \WiNDOWS\system32\c_850.nls

U can try to fix this file by starting Windows Setup from the original CD with installation files Choose 'R' in the first screen to start the fixing procedure.

It's a translation so it can be a little off.

Grab a copy of that file somewhere, off the net if need be. Boot into another OS and copy the file to that location.

Download the file to a USB memory stick or something, and boot from a LiveCD, and copy the file over. If you need to, you can burn the file to a CD (kinda wasting a disc though)
