boot from it. and in the setup continue untill it searches and it says that 'Already a Windows Installation is Found' Here it asks you to REPAIR or continue, Select the REPAIR option and it will replace with new files

SFC = System File Checker, It checks and replaces any missing/corrupt file belonging to windows

Type sfc /scannow in Start -> Run and provide the Windows XP CD when it asks.
