Put your XP disk into your CD drive and restart your system. This will start the XP installation process. When you come to the screen that asks if you want to install XP or if you would like to “Repair” XP, choose Repair. This will open the repair console command prompt. At the prompt, type: chkdsk /r. (There is a space between the k and the /. Now hit “Enter”. The repair should now start. Allow it to run until it stops. This can take some time, so be patient.
If all goes well, XP will replace any and all missing operating system files.

Do you have a installation CD? Boot from it, select repair. At the command prompt type in chkdsk /r
wait about 30-45 min. when it is done type exit. 9 times out of 10 this will repair bad system files.
