What the heck?...
My system was working fine then it just stiffed up on me. I had to unplug it to shut down...nothing worked. I did a surface scan of the HD and it came out fine but now when I boot up...the XP logo doesn't show then this error shows up...
WINDOWS COULD NOT START BECAUSE THE FOLLOWING FILE IS MISSING OR CORRUPT:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
uhhh...can I fix this withought having to format?
HEEELLPPP!!!!!! :cry:

Mine was down to a few power cuts in the area ...I believe.
Same as not shutting down properly really.
Not experienced it from any other causes
