You may be able to restore the registry from a dos command prompt and type scanreg /restore
Use the startup disk to get the command prompt

The other option would be to reload the operating system using your cd over the existing install

Get Norton Utilities or some other utility that will undelete files. Hopefully you haven't overwritten any of the sectors.
