After virus/worm infestation, my XP computer froze during
the repair process. When I rebooted the computer, I
receive the following message:

Windows could not start because the following file is
missing or corrupt:

\windows\system32\config\system

Can anyone help me???? I've tried a number of things,
but short of a complete reinstall (which will cause me to
lose my user data), I don't know where to turn.

Thanks!
