Hello.
Upon trying to Boot my PC>
I am receiving the error message:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt.
Windows\system32\config\system
After reading through your forum. I have tried the following fixes:
1.]
md tmp
copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak
delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
delete c:\windows\system32\config\default
copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default
* After typing the first line, *copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak* and pressing enter, I get the following message:
The System cannot find the file specified.

This is a suggested fix, [ boot up 'R' from the bluescreen Windows back up CD.] Instead of pressing f12, boot menu, then choosing 'R' and typing the lines of code, in 1.] listed above, In the recovery module.
* This does not work, as I am not presented with the same options, as the blue screen shots pictured in this tutorial.
Specifically. I am not given the option, as it shows on the bluescreen tutorial.
To repair the selected Windows XP installation press R.
*My re-installation DVD is labelled: Microsoft Windows XP Media Centre Version 2005 with Update Rollup 2

1. cd system32
2. cd config
3. ren system system.old
4. cd .. (note the space after cd it is important)
5. cd .. (note the space after cd it is important)
6. cd repair
* Again, after typing the third line, *ren system system.old,*
I receive the following message:
The system cannot find the file or directory specified.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am completely stuck, as to what to try next.
Any help or assistance, or a solution would be greatly appreciated.
