I have Windows XP on my HP Notebook last night windows frooze and than crashed. Now I get the following error after the motherboard boot screen
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt :
\WINDOW\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 repair.
Problem is Windows instaltion is partitioned on Hard Drive and I ain't the sole owner of Notebook, No back-up discs where created. I tried to repair windows with my XP recovery disc. When I either press ENTER or R, I get this following message:
Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed on your computer.
Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program.
Setup cannot continue. To quit setup, press F3.
I want threw to the systems BIOS an it says hard drive is powered on.
Please Help.
