My PC crashed with the error message
"missing...windows\system32\config\system". Tried to repair it using the
install disk and repair wizard but got the same error message. As I needed
the data on my hard drive urgently, I took out the drive and copied the
files onto another PC's hard drive, I then reinstalled it into my PC. I
started a new install of XP and when asked, reformatted the hard drive so as
to eliminate any corrupt files. When the PC rebooted having copied across
the setup files, I got the original error message! I tried again, removing
any extraneous hardware, USB connections, etc; same message .... the
knowledge base answer 307545 isn't much help, as I cannot install anything
onto the hard drive. Any ideas anyone?
