windows/system32/config/system is corrupt or missing
Posted by cheryl_cam on July 5th, 2008


I have the same issue with the corrupt \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file.
I am able to boot from the CD, but when I try to do the repair, I get the
following error: BAD_POOL_CALLER and I can't do anything else from there. I
am running XP Professional on a MACBook Pro with a partitioned hard drive.
I can't even reformat the drive and re-install as I can't boot up in safe
mode, or any other mode. What can I do?
