Not booting up, missing ntoskrnl or logonui

[Erin]

I tried to customize my boot up and logon screens at the
same time and one or the other file(s) is now corrupt or
missing. I cannot get the computer to boot up in any
fashion (safe mode, command line, last good config etc) I
have a dr dos cd rom from "fix it utilities" program, but
it won't recognize my "C" drive to restore the missing
file. As far as I can tell my CMOS is fine, but I just
need to find a way to restore the file it needs to boot
up... Any suggestions?

Creativity Gone Ary,
