Hi,Friends I need some help from you all.My computer has gone crazy it seems.I have purchased new machine at my place but the problem is that suddenly my machine got hanged initially it got started and my antivirus was getting updated and suddenly it crashed down it was just as if it got hanged all things came to stand still.I tried to restart the machine and a message appeared :- Windows could not start because following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32|CONFIG\SYSTEM You can attempt to repair this file by restarting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair. But no use friends I have tried this too.What to do now? Do I have to Format my machine? Please help!!! Any suggestions????
I had this exact same problem happen to me with my XP system, there are ways to try and repair the OS, but it can get complicated. The best thing for you to do (IMHO) is to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS, doing so will erase all data on the hard drive, unless you have or can make a boot disk that will allow you to access the hard drive and recover the files you don't want to lose. You will need another working PC to create one. UBCD http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ http://www.brothersoft.com/ultimate-boot-disk-11418.html You might also want to look here http://www.startdisk.com/
I've done a windows repair and it worked fine you just have to reload the drivers. it didn't delete the programs that were instralled
