Cannot boot windows : system file corrupted

[FutureXec]

Hi, I have 2 installations of Windows on my HD...my main one and my backup which I am currently on.

I was rebooting my PC and I received something similar to this msg :

Cannot boot windows, windows1/system32/config/system file missing or corrupt


How can I fix this? I tried to run the repair on the Win CD and it didn't show the directory of my main Windows installation...


Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
