Do you not have a DVD drive? Burn the windows iso to disk, put it in, boot from it, and reinstall windows on drive c.

Yeah, the guy is right. OR if you dont have cdrom you can always make a boot usbdrive with windows (search in google)
Be carefu. On windows install select “custom partition” and select the right partition to install (you can see what is the right one by their size).
Answer #3
one of your windows system files have become corrupt, you need to replace that file by running a “Repair install” using a bootable windows image on usb, dvd or what ever media you prefer

You can do that if you can get into safe mode on Win 7/Vista by tapping F8 on boot, the OP doesn’t mention what flavour of Windows he is using. XP it’s also easy to run an over the top install (repair install) by booting from XP media.
Answer #5
yeah knowing which version of windows would help a lot
