I'm having a problem with Recovery Console.
I initially had the system32/config/system is corrupt or missing problem. I
then tried the steps on this link:
http://www.webechodesigns.com/blog/2006/08/repair-windowssystem32-configsystem.html
It seemed to work as XP started to boot like it should, now it just hangs on
a black screen. If I tried to enter Recovery Console again it asks for the
Administrator password. It has no SAM folder so there is no password, i.e.
I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Even booting to another partition
only lets me look at the C:\. Now, it says I have no access to move files
into C:\ from the other partition.
Further review of the posted article seems to indicate that I didn't do
enough of the replacing. I should have replaced the Software, SAM, Security
and Default folders as well.
I need to use the system backup folder and put those files into the current
windows/system32/config folder.
Will booting into any Command prompt get me back to where I need to go or am
I totally screwed. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
