You repair the drive by using the install cd. You can't do it from within windows.

Boot from the cd as normal, but bypass the "press R" repair option. Proceed as if to install new again. Your existing installation will be detected and the option to repair it will be given.

The service pack level of your installation will equal whatever the CD was, so If the CD was an original pre-service pack release, you will have no service packs installed. All winupdates will be removed.
