System files corrupted, I think. Couldn't load Windows, not even in Safe Mode.

562360 2007-06-25 07:32:00 Is the install CD smudged or marked - giving that a good (but careful) clean often helps. Was a worse phenomenom with Win98SE install discs but could be worth checking out just in case. Chemical Ali (118)

Standard install?
Will it start in safe mode?
