I need help.

fzerolegendz,

The fix for that particular error is here. The CD to use is either the one here or the one here.

That repair is not always successful, so if it fails you can use that CD to reinstall XP as described here.

i still can't get it to work, i mean she deleted EVERYTHING you can do absolutly nothing so i can't do anything, i'll press r, it'll take me to the screen that says dell and then it'll just go back to the message, i tryed pressing f12 to get to the cd thing, but after i do that it'll just go back to the screen

so yeah....

It sound like everything is gone.  If system restore can't retrieve it you may want to reformat and start over since you have all your installation discs.  I'm fairly new at this but just did a reformat with XP and my computer is running a lot smoother and faster.  Hopefully, someone with more experience than me will give you an opinion before you give up.

Good luck.

fzerolegendz,

If you can't access the Recovery Console you cannot perform the repair and your only option is to reinstall Windows, as described in the second link in my earlier post. There is no capability of doing any backup from Windows but you may be able to salvage something with the program here.

To do the reinstallation don't rely on F12 which does not seem to be working. Modify the BIOS as detailed in my reinstallation link.

Denny is correct. If that person deleted everything, it's possible that person also deleted shared files which work with the operating system files, therefore causing a major problem. If those files are not present during the boot up stages of the operating system, and the repair Denny recommended, did not work, the only option you have is to reinstall the operating system. There is no magic command available to fix this!
