| This is the message I get (I am working from my DH's computer now) is this:
| Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
| \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
|
| The suggestion is to restart using the original CD and choose "r" for
| repair, but I am not able to get that far! Because of the above problem,
| booting from the CD didn't work - I went into BIOS and changed the set-up so
| it boots from the CD, but it won't do that, again, because of the above
| problem, which it states as to why it won't boot up. This is frustrating.
OK -- There is a *BIG* differeence between this error message and your original post !
Search the News Group. While I don't know the answer, this has been asked and answered
*many* times.
