File missing/corrupt = \windows\system32\config\system

[Guest]

When I switch on my computer, a blank screen comes up with the message..

Windows could not start because the file is missing or corrupt

\windows\system32\config\syste

You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original set up CD rom. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair

The problem is, I dont have this CD rom because I wasnt provided with it. So what should I do?

I have the same problem though I have the CD but when I
boot from the CD windows setup comes up and then nothing
loads at the bottom. Any suggestions?
