Re: Winnt\sys32\config\systemCED Error

Hi John:

All she has is a Recovery CD so how would she ever make a set of Startup Diskettes when the computer will not boot? Also I do not follow your last comments about mounting her disk in another Win2000/XP computer?

Thanks

You will have to borrow a Windows 2000 CD or make a set of Startup
Diskettes to use the Recovery Console. Or you can mount her disk in
another Windows 2000/XP machine to do the repair.
