kbdus.dll error and xp reinstall

Question

i tried to reinstall the operating system but ran into the error message:   'Setup cannot load the keyboard layout file Kbdus.dll. Setup cannot continue. Shut down or restart your computer.'   the message appears after rebooting.   i got back to dektop by pressing f8 during the reboot.   so, does anyone know what the error is all about and how to fix it?   also, i found the dell revert by symantec, which i gather is designed to avoid reinstalling the operating system. has anyone any experience of it? will it get round the error message. will it format my hard drive and re-set the registry?   dell tech support did not seem to know!   hopefully, richie
