Msconfig not loading

[Master Toddy]

So running out of hard drive space, I decided to get a 500 gb SATA hard drive. I copied my C drive over from my old 160 gb drive to my new 500 gb drive and everything worked fine...except for the fact that MSCONFIG won't load. I tried using the expand -r feature to copy it over from the windows XP cd, I tried running sfc /scannow to fix it and I tried doing a repair installation of Windows...nothing worked. Anybody have any ideas?

Do you think it could be virus/malware related? Have you run virus/HJT/adaware scanners?

 

[Master Toddy]

Yes, I have run them and there isn't anything there...it worked perfectly fine BEFORE the copy but it didn't work AFTER the copy.

find the program msconfig and then copy it to
\windows\system32

this will place it where it can be found
(hint: this directory is in the %PATH% of windows)
