Laptop won't boot up - received the \windows\system32\config\system file is
missing error. I have followed the instructions in Article Q307545 and keep
getting stuck because on my computer
c:\windows\system32\config\system\ where \system is actually a folder not a
file like the article says.
So I've tried deleting the folder so I can copy the system file but it won't
delete. It acts like it is deleting but it doesn't go away.
The "system" file in windows\repair is named system.bak (which I thought was
a little weird since the article shows it as system with no file extension).
So I copy the system.bak to windows\system32\config and it will copy fine. I
then try to rename it to "system" and it puts it in the
windows\system32\config\system\ directory. I tried leaving it in this
directory and restarting the computer but still get same error message.
Please help me if you can.
