Question : windows 2003 repair end up in dos mode

I'm getting a file missing error (ntodkpnl.exp) during startup of windows 2003.

I wanted to run a repair using the CD (I've done that before on windows XP). The problem is that after hitting the R key, I ended up in a command prompt instead of copying the files from the cd to the hdd.

Can someone please tell me how this is done?

Thanks

in XP - you do not press R for a repair install, instead you slect the normal install : http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
