I woke up this morning, turned on my computer and lo and
behold the daggum thing wouldn't boot. All I got was a
DOS screen saying the windows\system32\config\sytem file
was missing or corrupted.

I reloaded XP onto another partition and tried copying
and pasting that file to my original install but it
didn't work. It said that "file was currently in use".
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks in advance
