Windows XP Startup Problems

[Guest]

Hi all,
My pc hangs when I press the start button. I get the normal BIOS screen but
then it stops and displays the following:-

Windows could not start because the following is missing or corrupt:-

\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

I hit the RETURN key on the keyboard and the Windows XP carries on
installing as if nothing has happened. I do get various problems during the
time I am working on the pc and I am sure that the initial problem is causing
this.

I have tried installing windows XP by putting the 'Windows XP' disc in the
cdrom and doing a 'repair' but the problem remains and I have also
reinstalled Windows XP but htis has not stopped the problem?

Has anybody got any ideas what the problem is and how I can fix it, please!!!

Regards
Gerryw
