wmilib.sys not loading during repair installation

I have a messed up windows partition. I think something is wrong with the file system, because the data seems to be there when I run photorec or testdisk on a disk image, but I can't load windows, and can't access the Documents and Settings folder when I mount the disk as an external drive and look at it from linux.

I am using the Windows Vista installation disk to try to repair the system. It runs chkdsk for ~1-2hours, then tells me to restart. When I restart and try to load windows, it tells me that it can't load windows, then gives me this error message.

wmilib.sys
status 0xc000000f

then it tells me to try to use the installation disk to repair my system.

That just starts the whole sequence all over again.

Is it possible to just get a copy of wmilib.sys and place it into the correct folder by mounting the disk as an external hard drive? I've been trying not to write to the disk until I recover my data. (i need data files that testdisk and photorec don't recognize, and I need them organized in the original file structure).
