Ntoskrnl problem

[Microsoft]

I tried installing the Vista transformation Pack on my Dell XPS Dimension
Gen3 computer running Windows XP SP2.
I didn't like it and uninstalled it with the disastrous result that I cannot
use my computer anymore.

When I boot it it gives me the message: The following file is missing or
corrupt: \system32\ntoskrnl.exe

I have searched a lot on the Internet but most of the solutions tells me to
boot from the recovery cd.
However, the computer will not boot from any of my two DVD-roms - neither
can I get to the hard disk.

I have checked the BIOS setup and both DVD-roms are identified correct.

The dard disk is formatted in the NTFS format and connected via ata. The two
DVD drives are connet via PATA.

Keyboard is a bluetooth keyboard, but it works OK.

Any suggestions?

Go back into the bios and look for "boot device priority", and set one of
your optical devices as the first boot device. You should then be able to
boot from the Windows cd.
