i don't know where else to post this so here i am looking for help. thanks
in advance for any assistance.
i removed a newgroup reader that had some "bundled" software because i noted
degraded system performance and unwarranted network activity after the news
reader was installed.
on reboot, after intinail boot post i get the messege "windows could not
start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\windows\system32\config\system you can attempt to repair this file by
starting windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. select 'r' at the
first screen to start repair."
the repair console is unfamiliar territory to me but what the heck; in i
went. there are all kinds of command options so i tried "best guess" and
selected "bootcfg /rebuild" since it seemed to me to be a config issue. when
i triggered the bootcfg /rebuild command it started to scan. it was not able
to complete the scan and suggest i run chkdsk. i ran chkdsk and chkdsk /p
with no errors or issues coming up.
should i have tried bootfix or something else?
i have six partitions set up (using partition magic) on the hard drive.
do i need to do a repair installation of winXP pro?
i am open to suggestions. thanks again for your help.
