Hello, I'm new to this site so, I'm not sure what I'm doing. I'm also not that smart with computers but it'd be greatly appreciated if someone could help with my problem. I can't do anything, I startmy pc up and it just goes to this. And it won't let me go into safe mode. What can I do? This computer has no discs to repair and I don't have another computer to download stuff. I'm actually typing this from my iPod. But this is what I get:

Windows can't start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\windows\system32\config\system

You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows set up using the original cd-rom

Select R at the first screen t start repair.


So, what can I do? I can't do anything on this computer, nor dl anything because of it and I have no discs. There has to be something I can do,

You need at least another computer to burn a boot disc if you don't have the Windows disc.
Download the Recovery Console ISO. Burn it to CD with IMGBurn Boot off of the CD and get to the Recovery Console. Here type chkdsk /R and press enter. The Check Disk utility will try and fix any file errors.
You can also download the ISO image for Drive Fitness Test in my signature and burn the image to a CD using IMGBurn also in my signature and boot off of the newly created CD and run the Quick and Advanced tests on the HDD to test the integrity of the drive.
