Windows XP problem
Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2006 8:21 pmHi, Would someone know the answer to my problem:
My windows xp was working fine until today, I bought and installed "Windows registry repair pro" run the scan and clean functions all as per default. Then I booted the PC and windows tells me this: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \windows\system32\config\system. I have booted from my windows xp CD and attempted to select the R for repair option. Its asking me for the administrator PW and when I enter it tells me its invalid, no go. Would someone know what my options are?
If I re-install windows into the same partiton C:\windows, am I loosing everything????
Sorry for the long message, but its rather difficult.
