Just got finished with upgrading the wifes computer from 98se to XP, Norton
antivirus didn't upgrade well, so I had to hand delete it from the system and
the register.
When I rebooted I got the message: Windows could not restart because the
following file is missing or corrupt:
c:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SYSTEM
You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the
original setup CD-Rom. Select 'r' at the first screen to start up.
When I try booting with the upgrade disk, I get a screen that states to boot
from the CD to press any key. I do this, but nothing happens and this
message pops up again. I even went in and set up the Cd to be the only boot
device and still got this message.
I sure hope someone can help me with this, since my wife has well over 3000
sewing designs on this hard drive. I have a full ghost back-up of the old
98SE on another hard drive and when I tried going back to it I get a message
that it can't find krnl386.exe, but it's working OK in the safe mode. This
is the first time one of these back ups has failed to boot.
If anyone can help me get one ot the other of these 2 systems back up I will
be very appreciative.
