Hello, I recently tried to start windows and the error message "Windows XP
could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE". Now, as i was browsing through the
articles for relatively similar cases a few redirected me to
"http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=307545". I followed the steps
on this support guide but in 'part one' where it asks you to input into the
recovery console "copy c:\windows\system32\config\system
c:\windows\tmp\system.bak" the recovery console comes back saying something
along the lines of 'unable to copy'. Is this normal or are my suspicions
correct in saying there is another problem.
