FIle missing or corupt

[Vogster]

My buddies computer says there is a system file that is missing or corupt. We tried Scandisk and there is no problem with hard drive so we reformatted and reloaded windows and there was the same problem. WE can't get past that screen. I'm relatively new at this, any help would be appreciatted. Thanks.

Does it give a particular file name?

all the information you can give would be helpful - what version of windows, hardware specs if you know them, file name, etc etc.
