Continuously press F8 at startup and choose it with the arrow keys and press enter.

Well, i figured that out, but the file that is corrupted is also screwing up safemode so i gotta repair it with the cd, but i gotta fashion a way to do so. I dont have a fdd so i gotta put the boot disk on cd since i have a really old cd(non bootable)

Recovery console. Extract the file from the .cab on the cd. Simple.
