Hi all,
Ok, i'm a novice at all this so please be gentle.
When I started up my desktop this morning I got the following messge :
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt :
\WINDOWS\system32\config\SYSTEM
I have tried to boot into safe mode but it wont let me and I tried to restore last known configuration but that didn't work either. I dont have the original disk with windows xp as it came pre-installed. Is
there anyway I can sort this out? My laptop also have xp home on
it, can I use some files off there?
Thanks in advance to all that help, it is very much appreciated.
Take care,
Ewan
The method described in the KB Article refers to the 32-bit versions, but still should apply:

Starting

Once you've recovered, you might want to look here, as well:
