Start-up disk

Comment:
I have been unable to create a start-up disk since I,ve had Windows Me. I keep getting a message saying that a number of files cannot be found at location c:/windows/system. I have inserted the OEM recovery cd, but the utility keeps reverting back to looking for the files in c:/windows/system. Any help would be appreciated.
