We suffered a storm last night which left my server at a
DOS prompt this morning, and screen says "\Windows\System32
\Config\System file is corrupt or damaged" can try repair
by using 1st disk of SBS and typing "R" at the first
screen. I tried this "Repair" process but was unable to
access the Windows directory. I have been backing-up my
system to another computer but now I need to access the
directory to effect repairs.
Anybody have a suggestion here?
Or maybe there is an easier approch to repair this file.
Thank You
Paul
