Hi thanks for the other posts on my previous topic. I had mistaken the hard drive for my cd drive. Any Who, when i try and boot my computer this error message shows:
Windows could not start because of an error in the software: Pleases report this problem as: load needed DLLs for kernel. Please contact your support person to report this problem. END
Also what is a "kernel" ive seen that word before but never acknowledged it. Thanks!

Is there a way to cancel the repair OS setup and restart it? Actually im screwed because my cd drive isnt working for some reason. I'm probably gonna end up having to buy something.
