Are you logging on to the correct installation? Press 3 then press
<Enter>. Did you run a chkdsk on the drive?

To reinstall the operating system consult the documentation that came
with the computer. Based on what you have just posted I believe that
you have all the necessary files to reinstall Windows XP in a Service
Partition (D:\), you simply have to launch the miniNT shell where you
should be able to launch the restore process or launch winnt.exe from
the i386 folder. All that information should be available from your pc
manufacturer.

hi (again)

I still have had no joy with this corrupt/missing
"\windows\system32\config\system" file. I installed knoppix 5 linux and
browsed and found these files, but i couldn't do anything with them.
to date i have tried all of the copy/delete lines I am in the recovery
console, showing on screen 1: D\MiniNT 2: D\i386 3: C:\WINDOWS,

is there anyway round reformatting all of the HD and installing fresh????

***REM I have preinstalled software so no other discs available****
can I d/load any software to enable to boot a fresh install?

cheers in advanced

Iain
