490235 2006-10-09 04:17:00 Hey I recently restarted my computer after removing the screen to plug it in to my laptop to use dual screen then after reconnecting it to my desktop I was greeted with "missing file or corrupt" windows\system32\config\system. I was told to insert my xp cd and press "r" to repair the problem, so I restarted my computer to set my cdrom drive to primary then restarted again so it would boot off the xp cd and I got through the instructions fine until I was asked which windows installer I would like to use. I had already been through the screen where I pressed "r" to repair and I am now unsure of what to do as pressing "enter" simply restarts my computer. What do I do? Cheers.:thumbs: joedoe89 (11270)
