Error

[Guest]

I recieved a error that states windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt windows <root>/system32/ntoskrnl.exe. please install a copy of the above file. I bought the computer from a private owner and did not get a back up cd, does this mean I will have to purchase Windows XP over again?

The disk should have come with the computer.
