Recently my Dell Inspiron laptop stopped booting. Upon turning on the
machine, there was some hard drive activity, but nothing displayed on
the screen. Finally, an error message appeared:
"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."
Then what do I do? Should I attempt to copy the "System" file and
reboot? A search of the Windows Setup CD-ROM on another machine did not
find that particular file.
Thanks for any help,
