Few days ago, I wanted a clean start for my PC.I went to CMD and typed: "del c:\windows\system32" which deletes all files neccesary for my PC to start.So, I did a controlled system crash.

I bought a Windows XP boot disc, inserted it, and nothing.Same error saying system 32 files are missing.In BIOS, I have 3 Boot Devices.First one is CD ROM, second one is Floppy and third one is HDD-0.No matter what I press ( F1,F2,F12,F10,Del,Enter) it won't boot from CD.

Please help me.Thanks

If you have windows xp cd from Microsoft it should boot. On your xp boot disk make sure it xp disk and not Microsoft office disk. Try downloading hirem boot cd and see if your cd rom boot from this boot disk. If it won't try making a boot USB stick.
