\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is corrupt. HELP!
 |
OK guys and/or gals, I have read so much on this that my eyes are fixin' to bug out!!
I do not have any XP CD's. I do not have any reformat CD's either.
I have already tried last known good configuaration, the whole F8 thing, safe mode, etc. I am FRUSTRATED! I do not have another computer that I can put my hard drive in as a slave....so....
What do I do now? Is there ANYTHING I can do at all?
Please Please help me...
TY! :O)

Unfortunately...your best bet at this point is to buy a copy of Windows XP.
Heck...I don't even have that folder on my computer...mine is called systemprofile

Well, used a XP disk of a friend's and this is what I get:
"i386/ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded - error 7"
Is my computer basically dead? Am I gonna have to bite the bullet and just get a new one?

A fresh install?
(i.e. did you reformat the drive first)

Try a repair install. You won't lose data (unless somthing goes horribly wrong 
).

OK,
1) no, I did not reformat - I do not have reformat disks and do not know how to do it without them and
2) if you mean repair install by pressing the "r" at the first setup screen...I tried this repeatedly to no avail
Any other suggestions?
P.S. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for responding, any and all help is GREATLY appreciated!!

You sure you followe the repair install instuctions correctly? He says not to press r right away...
EDIT: Hmm, that is weird.
Perhaps a system restore? Using the recovery console.

If you have your friend's disk...you can wipe and reformat your hard drive.
You need to back up your important data first, or you will lose all of it.
You will also have to reinstall all of your software.
Given the alternative between that and buying a new computer (which you will still have to reinstall all of your software on) it's certainly worth a shot.
