Start by getting all of your data off the disc with linux as I think that system 
may be toast requiring a "clean" install.

You can then, in linux, delete atapi.sys from ...\System32 and from c:\ (if there). 
You might also want to search for it anywhere else. See if you can get into rc then. 
If the cd boots correctly, try booting from c: before trying any repairs.

Trying another cd (even the wrong version, just to see if it boots correctly) could 
not hurt anything.
