Hello,
Where do you go if you do not have the CD? I did not get one with my laptop?
Thanks.

You can pull your bios batter out of your motherboard for about 30 seconds.
this will cause it to reset all the bios default settings, therfore,
resetting your password.
Yes, except that 30 minutes is almost never anywhere near long enough.
10-15 minutes is more likely, and occasionally it's even considerably
longer.

Good info, Dave. My problem is getting around the BIOS setup password.
Apparently, it has been changed from the factory-set default (000000). Any
way to get around this?

My Labtop is giving me
the message: Windows could not start because the following file is

I read your advice and have even went to this website you suggested:
"How to Recover from a Corrupted Registry That Prevents Windows XP
from Starting"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q307545
Here is my problem. What can you do if your labtop or home computers
don't have floppy disks? They are no longer building them with the new
computers. Also when I put my WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION SP2 in my laptop
it doesn't take me to any page execpt the page that says this:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or
corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
It then tells me to put in my cd and run recovery from the disk, well
I have tried to do that, and my cd won't boot it for me to run
recovery. All my cd does is keep taking me back to the Windows could not
start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
I've tried every thing microsoft support site has suggested
and nothing is working. I even tried to put the boot up files on my USB
Memory stick and see if that would help, but it would only say
operating system not available. I even tried copying the system files
from my home computer on to my memory stick, but the system won't let me
copy them. I have tried putting in the WINDOWS XP CD that comes with my home
computer, but I still get the error page up top.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! Any suggestions you could give me would be most
appreciated.
TyYou have to enter your computer BIOS setup and modify the
boot sequence so that the CD drive is selected before the hard drive.
Then it will boot from the CD, and you'll be able to intiate the
repair.

If you have this issue on a store bought system with no CD (a common
occurrence), you can easily make your own bootable XP Recovery Console
CD and use it to verify the file system integrity and even perform the
steps in the Microsoft article if needed. Out of pocket cost: 1 CD.
Even if you have a bootable XP installation CD, booting it into the
Recovery Console and running chkdsk /r should be step 1 for this
usually simple to resolve issue. Attempting repairs on a corrupted
file system is a waste of time.
Your laptop computer manufacturer or retailer is unlikely to be
sympathetic to your situation.
Do you need help with this?
