It said that after I did the cd boot. It took some time, and then that message appearedI have a dell laptop and it is sick. It will not boot up, and so I put in the original system disk ( changed the cmos accordingly to boot from cd ).... it came back with a message "bad or corrupt system32". Is there any way to fix this and not lose my documents? Thanks

You can use this guide to repair XP
Possibly, you will need to press the power button and keep tapping the delete key, (possibly F2) until the PC enters set up. Change the boot order to CD ROM Drive then hard drive, press F10 then press enter, load the XP CD then type Y then press enter, as it reboots, look for press any key to load from CD, press enter
You will need your XP product key to complete this
The XP Product Key is a 25 character alpha numerical code, which does not include the sequence OEM
