It starts to turn on then, Windows Boot Manager screen comes up. It says windows failed to start. Insert windows installation disk and restart. It says, file:\windows\system32\winload.exe status:OxcOOOOOOf info:the selected could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt. Do you know what I should do or what I need? Thanks..
You should have all you need on the windows installation disk, unless this particular file on your startup disk is, in fact, corrupt, as the display says.
This is a sticky problem, which only Microsoft can cure, by swapping your disk for a clean copy. Only a swap will suffice, and since your copy of windows is registered (It is, isn't it? and if not, proceed to register your copy of Windows immediately) I would suggest a phone call to Microsoft to accomplish the exhchange if this is a version of Windows still supported by Microsoft. The board is not an issue at this point.

You can try booting into safe mode and running a virus scan, but you will probably need someone to come out and fix it. Often if you have another computer or the install disks handy you can sort it out but it takes a lot of experience.
