You kind of just answered your own question. Put in the windows CD, go into BIOS and find your Boot priority and make the first boot to CD-Rom. Then restart saving the changes, boot up with the CD and go through the options until you get to the screen with your HDD on it and hit R to repair windows. (You will see it becuase it will say it)
You dont even need the CD, just go to the Help section on your start menu, and an option for system restore should be there somewhere.
I wasnt recommending a System Restore, i was simply suggesting a way he could do it, since he asked how to do it... thanks for trying to make me look like an idiot .
system restore? wtf? are you a grandma or something? if its just one file, go download it from the internet. have you tried copying the file from the computer your on to a floppy/flash drive (dunno how big it is) and bringing it to the poor computer in need? elseif, just reformat, i wouldnt even go into system restore crap.
