Yesterday I turned on my computer to get the following message:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt

You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the
original setup CD-Rom. Select "r" at the first screen to start repair.

I have read plenty about this online about the subject and the suggestion to
get a Setup disk and/or Make my own disk, however I do not have the means of
coping at this time - My questions are, what is the easiest way to get hold
of a Windows XP Home Edition Setup disk without actually purchasing the
Software by itself- I have all my authenticity docs and to those familiar
with this error, Am I harming my computer by not getting this fixed
immediately? and What is usually the outcome after "fixing" this? I apologize
for the questions, thank you for any help you might be able to provide.
