I cannot boot up my Windows XP Pro machine (SONY VAIO) as
I don't get as far as the Windows Splash Screen buty get a
black screen saying that a System file is corrupt or
missing and that I need to put a CD in and press R.

I have no CDs or floppies on me...I was hoping that I can
go into troubleshooting mode or try to recover the machine
from the HDD using one of the cab files.

Help please!!!!!!!

Can you enter a recovery partition by pressing F10 or
something? If you can then you may need to perform a
recovery. I had the same fault today - and I had to do
this.
 
when do i press F10?

do i need any CDs? I am away from the office, hence i
only have my laptop.

please advise.
