C:\windows\system32\config\system
Today a game didnt work on my computer and I got irritated and turned it off at the power button, and when I restarted I got the above said as an error or corrupt file. I've looked on this forum, and on others for advice and found theres many things to try. I've tried the chkdsk thing using /p and /r. Using /r took ages and i restarted and bang back to that error message again.
I've used my friends windows disk as I didnt get one with my laptop, and I've put it on and tried that thing, also trying to copy the damaged file but that didnt work. I've clicked on it to put on a new version of windows and accepted the terms and then tried to press R to repair the partician C but it just didnt do anything.
I dont want to format because I really need my course work and was wondering that if I cant fix it now, do any of you know a way to gain access to whats on the harddrive? I have a memory stick I was hoping I could copy them. It's only a few folders that I need, all the music and stuff can be found again.
Any help from any one who has an idea what to do would be really great, until then I'm going to keep trying to get it to repair itself some how.
