Computers that come preinstalled with Windows, usually have a program from
the manufacturer (OEM) that will burn rescue or installation disks for you.
Anyway, it is too late for that now. You will have to buy an installation
disk, or borrow one from someone, in order to repair your computer.

Re: Windows Failed To Start - HELP

You should get a page of options using F8. You should be able to select
'Last Known Good' or be able to do a system restore to before your problem.
If you really don't, you can download a recovery disk from here. Page down
and download the version you need.
