I restart my other computer and get the following message...
windows could not start because the following file i mising or corrupt:
\windows\ytem32\onfig\system
you can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the orginal setup CD-rom.
Selet "r" a the first sreen to start repair
and from there it wont load or wont let me go beyond. i inserted the disk already and doesn't do anything, i thought it was the cd but i put it on this computer and does load, why? what do i do? i checked the bios and it says on the boot sequence 'cd rom-not installed', is it because of that? what do i do???
Thank You!

Make sure your CD drive is set as a slave or secondary master drive in your BIOS, and also make sure that it's first in the boot sequence. If it can't detect the drive, then there's a hardware problem with the CD drive itself. If you can get that to work, then try using the Repair feature on the XP install CD. If that doesn't work, then just reinstall Windows.

check the CD-Rom to perform the repair of Win, you could also restart BIOS, if your cd-rom is good(test it on other comp)

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
