help booting windows me, emergency boot disk?

Question

DO NOT TELL ME TO GET WINDOWS XP! i have windows me on a 2nd hand computer, i don't have ANY disks for it. i accidently erased the system.ini file and now i cannot get to windows.
it tells me it can't find system.ini, boot with emergency boot disk and type SCANREG /RESTORE.
a friend lent me the disk, i put it in and then it says
starting windows me boot...
type the name of the command interpreter(e.g. C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM)
A>
i tried to type the scanreg thing and it says the same thing.
i need someone to talk me through it, keeping in mind i only have access to the internet through my in laws comp. and only have access to that like once a week. i just want the comp. to run, so i can access internet. if u can't help please don't answer, i can't afford to upgrade or buy anything so i need to fix this, thanks in advance.

okay if i could get to system restore that means i'd be able to boot into wondows, WHICH I CAN'T, AND THAT'S KINDA THE PROBLEM!!! PLEASE DON'T ANSWER IF U REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Answer 1

I think you can re-install windows ME on your computer. It's upto you to format and install windows. Get a Windows ME CD. Boot from CD-ROM. And continue installing windows by online screen instructions.

Answer 2

Use the startup disk as nicely to the command on the spot ..ie. you're able to desire to verify a black reveal screen with something like A: or C: now on the A: on the spot form in SCANREG /restoration ..then stick to the stairs to restoration to a prior date.. whilst finished it could boot ok.. sturdy success!

Answer 3

Try going to the start menu and select help.From there go to system restore,And if you remember the date and time you messed up restore your system to a date before that. That should do it.
