Hello,
For some strange reason whilst I was out of the room for 10 minutes I
got back to find a black screen with this message..
missing or corrupt winxp/system32/config/system
select r etc..
I rebooted and got to Xp okay and I was trying to do do a drive image in
case it totally went on me later, but after 2 mins it rebooted on me and
came to the manual safe select screen with it highlited at 'Start Normally'.
I did this and it rebooted and I got the message above again.
I rebooted and it came into XP again but once again lasted for 2-3
minutes and rebooted again to the Safe screen select always at 'Normal'
not 'Safe'.
What would cause this erratic stuff, sometimes in and then not?
What should I do, this at 'r'in console or is there a better easier way?
cd system32\config
ren system system.old
ren system.alt systemalt.old
copy c:\windows\repair\system
copy c:\windows\repair\regback\system
Thanks
Rock
