Try unplugging all USB devices. Close windows down, then unplug your mouse and keyboard. Restart Windows, then plug in the mouse and keyboard.
If you aren't getting the error, then see which one of your USB devices may be causing the problem by plugging the rest back in and turning on the device (such as printer or ?)

If it's HP/Compaq, after entering Recovery partition by pressing F10 key, it'll give you Repair option.

You may also contact your computer manufacturer and request a Startup disk/Recovery disk - I had to do this recently with Dell and they sent me one in about 1-1.5 day(s). In that sense you should be able to open the BIOS and reboot from the disc to repair the system.

I actually came up with a little solution myself. Rather then screw around too much with the partition, I simply used a Ubuntu installation disk to have some kind of operating system momentarily. I loaded it, opened up my hard drive and copy and pasted the winload.exe in C:/WIndows/System32/Boot to its place in System 32. While this did solve the problem, I turned on my computer this morning and lo and behold the same message appeared. Is there any way I can determine why this file keeps vanishing?

The file may be corrupted. Why don't you use Recovery partition to perform Repair?

Although I have an HP, the F10 thing did not work. Anyway, I replaced it, and it happened again, I think it has something to do with the WIndows updates.

What happens when you press F10, when that option is displayed during Windows startup?
