Solve : Laptop error: \winnt\system32\c_1252.nls?

Answer»

laptop however whenever i start it, or whenever a try to start it does not work.

on the black screen that says: Starting Windows, an error comes up that says:

Windows 2000 could not start because the FOLLLOWING file is missing or corupt:
\winnt\system32\c_1252.nls

You can attempt to repair this file by starting windos 2000
setup using the original setup floppy disk or cd-rom.
select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.


that is the error message. just a side note, this computer originally used Windows XP proffesional. but i guess the previous owner unistalled it, or just like installed windows 2000 over it or something. so once i can get the computer to start, how can i get rid of the windows 2000 and bring back the windows xp proffesional that it was built with???Quote

If he knew what he was doing you can't....installing an OS normally obliterates the previous OS unless you screw up the install.

I would start looking for a genuine Win2K CD.oh i guess i forgot to specify that i have a windows 2000 boot cd, and i thik the computer might have windows 98 on it as well, for when i put it in it gave you a variety of choices like, windowws 2000, and 98, 95, me.

but when i try to do windows 2000 (what i thought the computer currently had) it just froze, and then for 98 an error came up up saying that it like couldnt make a registry, so i started putting in ms-dos commands into it, and didnt get farIs this a Win2K cd that says Microsoft all over it ? ?I think not. Well that'll slow the PROCESS down a bit...yaeh... it did, right now i have basically figured that there is nothing left to do except clear the hardrive of absolutely everything, and buy a new os. so how can i delete everything WITHOUT actually being able to access windows?

yes.. i was dumb and BOUGHT a boot cd not made by windows.To wipe the HDD clean DLoad and create a WinME BOOTDISK to a floppy ...run FDisk and then format and you're good to go...A new 2000 or XP CD will also allow you to format (erase) prior to an installation.
