Hello John John,
The exact error message is:
"Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"
The Knowledge Base article is 307545. (How to recover from a corrupted
registry that prevents Windows XP from starting)
How do I log on with the admin user when I am using the 6 floppies to get to
the Recovery Console? I can get to the Recovery Console, but when I try to
enter any command, I get the following message:
"Access is denied"
Thanks for your help and tips for getting help.

You can't access the BIOS from the Recovery Console. To access the BIOS.
you have to press a key when the computer starts up, usually you will
see a message telling you which key to press, something like "To enter
setup press whatever key." or "Setup=whatever key". Common keys are
F1, Esc or Del. That information is in your computer hardware
documentation. The ONLY THING that you might want to do there is change
the BOOT ORDER to the CD so that you can boot with the Windows XP CD
instead of the cumbersome 6 floppy diskette.

You HAVE to log on with the Administrator password before you can do
anything!
Tell us which Microsoft article you are trying to use, we might have an
idea of your problem but we don't want to guess. If we don't know what
exactly you are trying to do we can't help. When you get an error
message post the EXACT error message here so we can offer relevant
suggestions instead of guesses. Do you have a corrupt System or
Software hive? Is that what you are trying to fix, where do you get the
repair instructions from, which Microsoft document?
But, as I said earlier, you HAVE to confirm to us wether or not you can
properly start the Recovery Console and access your Windows
installation. If you can't get beyond that point any attempt at fixing
the problem is futile unless you use a different repair method.

I entered "md tmp" per the instructions for the fix, and got an error
message. How do I request to log in as Administrator? When asked for a
password I can leave it blank.
Are there instructions somewhere for how to access BIOS from the Recovery
Console?
Sorry about the repeated posts - MS sent back messages that an error occurred.

Did you try just pressing <Enter>? The Administrator password is blank
by default. As for the CD not booting did you go in the BIOS and change
the boot order to boot to CD first?

I've got what I've discovered is a common problem: Windows cannot start
because the following file is corrupt... I have opened the XP Recovery
Console using 6 Boot Floppies, since my computer would not boot off of the XP
CD. Once in the repair window, I can't do anything because I don't have the
authorization. However, I have never set up any accounts on my XP computer,
nor have I set a password for the administrator user. Is there a command I
can use to switch to the admin user? Any other suggestions as to how to work
around this?
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm glad there is help available on this
forum.
