Setup error code 4

[Sandy Spicer]

I recently used disk cleanup and deleted the win 98
files. Now I can't boot up...I get a blue screen message:
"File setupdd.sys could not load. The error code is 4.
Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit."
I tried the F8 key to use the "roll back" option or safe
mode option, with no luck...the safe option gave me a
list of items (I didn't write them down but there were 8
of them).
Any help would be most appreciated.

Try booting up using the XP CD-ROM and choose to repair. Then choose the
Recovery Console Option...
Choose the number corresponding to your XP version and enter your
Administrator Password (then press enter).

After that you'll see a command prompt...enter the following command:

bootcfg /rebuild" command to fix boot.ini.
FIXBOOT will fix the boot sector on the boot drive,
FIXMBR will fix the master boot record if the NT loader
complains of a missing HAL or unmountable boot volume.



After the process is completed enter the command EXIT to quit (and the
system should auto reboot OK from that point onwards...
