XP Pro Won't Boot
Hi
Turn on computer and this screen comes up "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair" I have XP pro with SP3. Also I don't have original Setup CD-ROM, well I do but its packed in storage several hundred kilometers away. I recently change RAM and not sure if reset jumper correctly. What now? Larry |

Re: XP Pro Won't Boot
Hi Larry !
These instructions should help provided this is a retail (not OEM) installation : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 Grab a friend's XP CD to access the recovery console. |
