file is missing or corrupt

[disturbedsystem]

Hello everyone. I have Dell laptop that I bought used, it has windows xp pro installed on it. It has been working fine then I started messing with the boot.ini and now will not boot into windows. This is the message I get
______________________________________________________________________________


Windows could not start because the follwing file is missing or corrupt:
System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys

You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original setup
CD-ROM.
Select ‘r’ at the first screen to start repair.

I want to know how can I fix this when I don't have the the original setup cd-rom. Can I use my windows xp home edition cd-rom from my desktop computer? Any help would be great.

Thanks
