I am running Windows XP sp2 on my laptop. I plugged my external hard drive
into my laptop and the hard drive of the laptop crashed. When i rebooted i
got the following error:

Disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Del to restart.

I have tried to boot from window XP disk but the following message is
returned:

INF File txtsetup.sif is corrupt or missing status 4096.
So i cant get to the recovery console.

I am unable to run in safe mode - pressing F8 to no avail.

Although i can get to the c drive, none of the DOS commands are recognised.

I can however get to the BIOS. Is there anything in there i can change to
get my hard drive back?

Any suggestions please?
