I think I deleted something off my desktop and it cannot open up windows. How do I repair.?

Question

When I turn on computer it says windows cannot start because the following file is missing or corrupt.
\Windows/System32\Congig\System
It also says SMART Failure Predicted on Hard Disk 0: WDC WD30 7AA-(PM)
Can I repair this by putting in my recovery disk? After that do I need to reinstall Windows XP because my recovery disk is not WIndows XP. I think it was WIndows 98.

Answer 1

well i feel tht u should reinstall win xp. or may be try repiaring it from win xp cd. that will replace your windows folder.but beware u will losee all your drivers and softwares installed as the registry is ging to be overwriten. so go to START -> RUN -> type in REGEDIT then just export entire registry in some place then rapair xp. when u install this registry back, most of ur progs gonna start workin. but ull have to install drivers from ur mainboard cd like disply drivers and sound drivers. so best of luck!!!

dude, depending on how computer savvy u are - i would say any of the answers so far are worth a shot but if not ... might be a good idea to pay a technician to fix the problem for you or else you may end up with bigger problems. basically i would use 'system restore' to the point before you made the doomed changes (or recovery disk as you say) then you'll need to reinstall the OS you prefer. you don't say how you originally installed WinXP unless it was already loaded when you got your pc? hope all ends well 4ya. =)
