Laptop Problem

I have a laptop that was working perfectly until this morning.

When you turn it on the screen is just black. After around two minutes of waiting, a message comes up on the screen, saying:

'Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

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 do not have the original setup cd. I have an XP cd that came with another pc. Can I use this?

All help gratefully appreciated.
