I have been running XP pro for several years on my work computer because one of the programs will not run on the new OS's. This week on start up I got the error file Windows\system\config\security is missing or corrupt. Since I had a back up drive I took out the problem drive and installed the mirrored drive that had been out of the computer. On start up I got the same error. I had a 3 drive that was ghosted about a month earlier and had never been in the machine. I got the same error. After playing with it all day I got it to go until I shut it down and rebooted, got the same error. My last resort was a brand new drive with nothing on it, I installed XP started loading drivers and after loading the video driver it asked to be restarted, so I did. Same error. I cannot figure out why 4 drives now none of which were connected to the computer at the same time all are getting the same error. Is it possible something on the motherboard could be causing the problem?
Thanks
