When turning on my computer I get 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 setup using the original setup CD Rom. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
I already downloaded the recovery console disks from Microsoft and tried those last night and it still doesn't work. I don't have an Windows XP disk because someone downloaded it for me.

Try running system restore ( can be found on start menu, in accessories/system tools or administrative tools depending on your version of win.) to go back to before the error occurred. If that does not work, the next step is to back up all of your important stuff (my documents folders, address books, money/quicken files,etc...), run system recover (the CD that came with the computer, or when it boots up it will give a boot option to run recover.), and select the non-destructive recover (normal). Hope one of these work!
If that does not work than you can either take it to a tech whom may be able to replace the file that is not working properly or not, or you can go on yourself.
If you choose to go on yourself. You need to run the system recover again, only this time do the destructive recover (advanced)(doing this will completely recover your computer to when you first bought it. You will have to re-install all of your other programs that you installed since you got the computer, then put your back-ups back in.
Good Luck!!!
