you can try hitting f8 and booting into recovery. most newer-ish PCs running windows have a separate partition they use for recovery that you can boot too. That'd let you at least try and get the corrupted file fixed.

Boot up your windows disk, and choose Repair your computer (it's on the bottom left, at the screen with the big INSTALL button), and when you get to the repair options, choose Startup Repair. After the process ends, reboot.
