I have a Win2000 PC that when it boots I get the error: cannot find winnt/system32/config/systemced the file is missing or corrupted.

it says i can repair this file by starting w2k and selecting 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
my question is, will this in anyway mess up or delete anything from my hd?

when booting the computer up pres either del or f2 to enter your bios (different for everey computer...look for a message saying "press <something> to enter setup" then make sure that the boot order is set to boot from cd first
