Hello everyone, and thank you for considering this topic.

I think I may just have screwed up my friend's machine. I was trying to fix some problems with drivers, and used system restore, to restore all of the origional OS, and drivers.

Now the computer says on a black screen that it cannot find the file "windows/system32/config" because it is missing or corrupt

He dosn't have a windows disk, because it was installed by the computers builders, e-machines.

is there a possible way i could create a boot disk, and copy the necessary file from my computer? How would this be done, and how would I use it to fix the problem?

IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY TO FIX THIS, PREFERABLY AN EASY FIX?

I really need help, I think I just dug myself into a hole, and I need help getting out.

There are ways to fix this, but they require the Windows XP disc.

You'll have to find or borrow one in order to do it. Further, if this fix didn't work, you'd need to locate a disc still, because your next step is to reinstall Windows.
