I have a corrupted register and my pc is not booting. I have installed win
XP
professional. When I boot from CD and type R to use recovery console It
goes
to C: dirve.

You should actually be in the c:\windows directory. type DIR to check
where you are.

Then I try to execute the command " md tmp" to create a back up
folder but I got error message. "Access Denied"

By default, the recovery console does not have permission to work on most of
the drive. You have to alter permissions, when the system is running, to
change this.

If you're tring to create c:\tmp, this will likely be the case. You should
be tryng to create c:\windows\tmp

it seams like I don't have
permissions to acces this drive, but it never ask me for admin password.

This is not clear. The Recovery Console asks you to log into the
Admnistrator account wth a vald password (which may be blank).

Did this not happen?


My initial problem is Error message. Windows could not start because the
following file is missing or corrupt \windows\system32\config\system

I'm I missing any thing here why is it giving me access denied error
message? And how can I work around this error.

Some body please help

Thanks

You can do all of this work in other ways, particularly if you can attach
the drive to another system or boot from a Linux CD with file manager tools.
