Hi my laptop is not starting up. yesterday i connected the laptop to my flat
screen and when i did it showed the startup and then the tv said invalid
format so i unplugged it from the tv restarted the laptop and this message
shows up:
"windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt...
\Windows\system32\config\system
you can attempt to repair this file by restarting windows setup using the
original setup CD-Rom
select "r" at the first screen to start repair"
Ok so the computer is a toshiba satelite A305-S6837
And was formally a Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit and got downgraded to a
windows xp home edition 32-bit
i dont have the setup cd due to it being installed at a computer repair
shop. so is there anyway that i can at least save the stuff on my laptop
befor i restore it back to vista which is the only setup cd's i have. the
stuff in there are crucial to my job and cant loose them. your help will be
appreciated.
