When I boot up my laptop I get the following error:
[hr]Windows could not boot up because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\System32\SYSTEM\SYSTEM.CONF
Insert the Windows installation CD and press "r" at the main screen.[/hr]
I have done all of this, but still, it boots with the same error.
Suggestions?
\WINDOWS\System32\SYSTEM\SYSTEM.CONF
Please check the error again; I think the above filename/pathname is incorrect.
If the real filename in the error is "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system", you have a corrupt Registry. Please see this post for an explanation of the error and links to 2 methods for repairing it.
no. the path is correct. but who cares? i took the easy way out and reinstalled windows xp pro. lol.
In some cases that's the faster, easier way to go. Glad you got it going again, regardless of the method. :)
