1 Run CHKDSK, it restores missing files.

2 Place the recovery CD into the tray, close the menu window when it shows, enter "sfc /scannow" into the run commands, it will scan the cd  replacing any missing or corrupt system files back onto your computer, keep clicking 'Retry' if your prompt untill the scan is complete.
