I've made progress, but HELP! missing or currupt c:\windows\system32\config\system?

Question

Alright, I am in a huge bind. I know this error is common, and people tell you to do many things, such as copy from the repair folder the system file and paste it into the config folder. Here is my problem. I was able to dual boot from a windows media center, to a windows XP professional. I'm using the professional right now. I can't get into my media center because of the missing system file. I've checked the folder in the windows\system32\config...and the system and system.sav are completely missing. on top of that...they are competely missing in the windows\repair folder. So i have nowhere to copy them from. This computer is new, theres no restore points, no system.bak or system.alt either. Is there a way to create a new system and system.sav registry that will work with media center? Please Help. Thank you guys so much
