Mak and Warez...thanks for all of your help so far....got a question though.
When I try to boot my moms PC this is what I get:
"Windows cannot start - Windows/System32/Config/System file is missing or corrupt
Insert original Start up disc and press "R" for repair"
Ok, now I've got a cd of XPSP2 - inserted it, nothing..just the same black screen and message.
I just dont get it....is the system COMPLETELY gone given it wont load anything at all? Is there anything I can do other than what I've done so far? All original discs arent there - they misplaced them so I have nothing in that area. Recovery CD was ordered yesterday (takes about a week or so to arrive) but I'm thinking even THAT wont work if it wont load the OS.
I'm frazzled.....
Thanks
Deb
