This happens when your operating system is not configured properly. It can be due to improper installation. But instead of formatting you can install the Recovery Console and run it to get your operating system back. To do this insert your windows disk. Then click on Start Menu > Run. In the box type E:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons. Here E is the drive of CD/DVD ROM. Then in the windows box type yes and you are done here.
