Hi,

I have an XP Pro machine that suffered a power failure during boot up.

Now, when I try to boot it displays an error to say something to the effect
of:

Windows can not start as the following file is missing or corrupt.

C:\windows\system32\config\system

Boot with the original CD and use the recovery console.

I have done this and am now at the console....but now what do I do?

Thanks
Stewart
