Missing file

[ntlworld]

Dear all,
After trying to delete all the Registry Entries for Norton's Anti Virus, I
must have deleted a wrong entry as I now cannot boot the PC!

It now says that the following file may be corrupt or missing :-
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SYSTEM

Tells me to run the install CD and press R for repair which I have done.
after telling it which drive and also enter a "nil" Administrator password,
it goes to
C:\Windows

Help, what do I do know? How do I sort this problem out please?
Yours
Barry

Many thanks for replying to my post, We are now up and running again, and
hopefully I can now sort out some other "minor" problems.

My best wishes and sincere thanks
