New install of ZP Home SP2 on a NForce4 board. Straight after the windows
logo screen on boot up I get "the file kbdus.dll is a not a valid windows
image. Please check this file against your installation diskette". After I
click OK, windows will not load and the screen remains black with only my
mouse cursor on screen.

As I gather this file is the US keyboard layout file, weird because I'm
using the UK layout. Nevertheless I have tried to replace the file by doing
expand file in msconfig and replacing it with the file in the i386 folder on
my windows CD but I still get the error.

Anyone any ideas? I can get windows to boot in safe mode and also if I do a
chkdsk on bootup but I get the error again if I do a boot without chkdsk.
