.sys files missing when booting Windows XP

[Harper]

Since my computer is being infected by virus and i need to format my C: driver and reinstall Operating system but when i am trying to load Windows XP as my operating system, i am getting an message which says .sys files missing when booting windows xp and i am not able to install my Operating system. Does anyone know what should so that i won't get this message again.

when you start the pc put the xp disc on your cd or dvd rom and proceed as you normally would...this ll try to copy the files...

happened to me also..i did the same n it worked out..
but if it doesnt work try booting from the disc itself but dont reinstall..this also works...

try it.
