If I press the first option (To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER), this happens:
The Windows XP Liscensing Agreement appears and I press F8 to agree.
The a blue screen appears saying:
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
REGISTRY_ERROR.
It says at the bottom:
Technical information:

Whenever I reboot the computer and don't press anything, it goes staight to a black screen and it says:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
The same screen shows up if I try to reboot in Safe Mode or reboot in the last working configuration.
Please help, I'm so lost and have no ideas on how to fix this problem.
