I cannot boot up and I get a notification that the "systemroot\system32\config\software" is screwed. The following message says contact tech support or system admin. How do I get out of this loop.??
 
Hi Portia,

To fix the "windows\system32\config\system file is mising or corrupt"
where XP wont boot:

Go to Recovery Console and type:

cd system32\config
ren system system.old
ren system.alt systemalt.old
copy c:\windows\repair\system
copy c:\windows\repair\regback\system
exit
