I have been getting the Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: Windows/System32/CONFIG/SYSTEM message. I tried the recovery consol solution- didnt work. Tried the md temp thing- I get a message that says access denied. I do not get the password question when the recovery console opens either it just starts. I am using raid 0 on my machine. I need to get the pics of my daughter off this nutty computer or else my wife said I am DEAD!
Someone please help!!

Thanks in Advance
