I have 2000 pro installed on a Dell C640 pentium 4 laptop.
It immediately freezes on the windows start up bar and the error message says that the "WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file is missing or corrupt. I tried to reinstall windows pro from a disk (not the original) and the same error message appears. I do not have any of the original disks. Can anyone help?
If I install a new hard drive, will that enable me to get the computer operational? I know that I will lose existing data but that is ok. They are available at reasonable cost on ebay. Thank you
