Blinking cursor Error

[pauliewalnuts]

As I try to load XP it gets past a couple of screens and then just stay
with this black one and the cursor blinking in the top left han
corner.
Now ive had this problem once b4 but a mate of mine fixed it up an
said if it ever happens again to put this floppy in and fix it. Now it
happened again and i dont know what he did with that floppy (he i
overseas atm).
When i put the floppy in it get me to a dos prompt giving me tw
seconds to choose between 1. CD ROM 2. No CD ROM
Im not too sure (as im a mac user) but I think its the windows Bootu
disk. I had lost mine and i think he replaced it with this one. I
contains...

ATTRIB.EXE FC.EXE OEM.BAT
AYTOEXEC.BAT FDISK.EXE Part.exe
COMMAND.COM FORMAT.COM REGEDIT.EXE
CONFIG.SYS HIMEM.SYS SBIDE.SYS
CWSDPMI.EXE IO.SYS SCANDISK.EXE
DIAD.EXE MEM.EXE SMARTDRV.EXE
DOSKEY.COM MORE.COM SYS.COM
DRVSPACE.COM MOVE.EXE WINNT.BAT
EDIT.COM MSCDEX.exe WINNT.SIF
EXPDUN.BAT MSCONFIG.EXE XCOPY.EXE
EXTRACT.EXE MSDOS.SYS XCOPY32.EXE

Anyones help would be much appreciated..

The floppy disk has most of the necessary files to boot your PC to the DOS
prompt.
Put the floppy in and press the #1 ASAP
It will then ask you to insert the WindowsXP CD to install it.
Hope it works. :~)
