- Windows could not start
- Posted by Joe on April 19th, 2008
After moving some files around on my PC and then rebooting, I received the
following message:
"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 set-up using the
original set-up CD-ROM. Select "r" at the first screen to start the repair"
I attempted to do this but after hitting "R", the PC shows the directory
C:\windows> and waits for my commands.
What do I do? Appreciate very much any help
