What's completely screwed up? Can you describe the problem you're having? You can download a boot disk from www.bootdisk.com.

If a missing system.ini is causing the problem you can restore a previous registry which will contain that file.
Boot up with a bootdisk--a 98 bootdisk may be best. At the a:\ prompt type:
path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command
and enter. Then type:
scanreg/restore
and enter. Choose a registry to restore with a date that precedes the problem.
