shut down pc normally

came to it just now and it tries to start and gets as far as the win xp with the counter thing underneath

that stops and it looks like itll flick to home screen - but it doesnt and goes to the windows didnt start screen with the safe mode

last known config and start windaz normally thing - when it tries i get the boot from cd thingy in the top corner but it says invalid boot.ini

i do all them and it does the same thing

according to places you cant get the missing file without having an xp disc

i didnt get one when i bought this pc

anyone got an xp disc they can lend to get the recovery bit into mine please?
