i recently purchased a dell latitude 600 laptop from an ebay auction. the operating system installed was Windows 2000. i installed a wireless G notebook adapter D-Link with a software driver that came with it. everything worked fine until the household power went off one day. upon reboot, i got the titled error message and could not start, saying the file was missing or corrupt. the laptop did not come with any system floppy or CD-ROM that it says i should use to attempt a fix. seller has not responded to my requests for a copy. can someone give me a fix, or tell me if i can reload this with a full new version of Windows XP Home Edition or Pro? will this overwrite the Win2K OS? i have no personal files on the computer that i desire to save. any help greatly appreciated... System Memory 512MB @ 266MHz...CPU Speed 1.40 GB..Primary Hard Drive...40 GB

You need to set your computer (laptop) to boot from the CD drive. Then re-boot the system with the Windows CD in the drive. You'll be able to freshly reformat the drive & install Windows.
