Well I messed up the System file from \windows\system32\config. Oh well
everything's fine now. But when I turned on windows it gave me the error to
fix this press 'r' [on the repair disk] of course. I just took the little
bit of time it took to re-install everything. The system needed it anyway.

But to my point how do you use the repair disk to repair an individual
file. Are there files somewhere in cabinet files ? I'm familiar with fixmbr,
bootcfg and the bootsector repair tool but how do you repair an individual
file like ntldr and ntdetect?

The main MS tool for this purpose is SFC.EXE = System
File Compare. Several mavens point out these essentials
to boot XP can in case of need be duplicated on a floppy.
