I had a power outage while Virtual PC 6.1 was open on my Mac G4. Now,
I can't open my Windows XP. A black screen comes on:

"Windows could not start because the following file is corrupt:
\WINDOWS\system32\c_1252.nls. You can attempt to repair this file by
starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD. Select "r" at the
first screen to start repair."

Of course, with my Mac PowerPC G4, the only cd's I have are the
'Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac' disks that have Windows on them
somewhere.

Can anyone give me some advice?

Reinstall in a new virtual machine and copy files over from the old VM
via import. Without a "real" bootable recovery Windows CD, you can't
fix this problem. And VPC doesn't provide a bootable CD intentionally.
