The Symantec site did not throw up any clues although I
tried a few suggestions, none of which worked.
Desperation setting in - error msg displayed 'Windows
could not start because the following file system is
missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM. You
can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows setup
using the original CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen
to start repair'.
When CD drive was working, tried this and could not iden
'first screen' or 'r'. Does this mean the first screen
that appears and key 'r'? With the CD drive inop I cannot
of course load the CD.
Grateful for any further assistance. Probably worth
noting that, other than no CD drive and constant red lamp,
the PC seems to work OK.
