Equium A60: System is missing or damaged

My laptop is broken! It's say \windows\system32\config\system is missing or damaged and asks me to use the original installation disk. The thing is, I did not. Where can I get one, or is there another way around this problem?

Hello

You can buy this CD in the Toshiba service partner. It s not very expensive. This disc includes the image of an operating system and all Toshiba drivers & utilities.
The other way is to use an original copy of Microsoft Windows. After the installation of the OS, you must install all the drivers of Toshiba which are placed on the Web site.
Please note that the proper installation order is necessary.

PS: Before you get your unit try to use a Microsoft System Restore tool

Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  • \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is missing or damaged

    I got a message saying that windows does not start because the following file is missing or damaged: wystem, config, system, windows.  I have long lost my windows installation cd, but I have the key code of the product than the original installers placed a sticker on the bottom of my laptop with it there.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?  I am able to use another disk with my own code?  Do I need to buy a new installation disc?  I am at a total loss!  Thank you for your suggestions.

    Without an installation CD, the recovery is a little more difficult.

    You need start your computer from a bootable CD to start your recovery.  Two CD bootable Windows PE according to prices indicated BartPE , UBCD4Win.  Both methods require a building process to create the bootable CD and both methods require that you have a Windows XP disc install (it can be borrowed) to generate this CD.  Once you build, you can boot from it and try to run the "chkdsk" with the /F or/r option program.  Often this will fix your disk and you can boot from it.

    The other approach is to copy your registry file (including the file system, which is damaged in your case) to restore system backups and replace the files that are giving you problems with these backups.  To do this, you will need to boot from a bootable CD.  Microsoft KB article for this procedure is here:

    "How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >
    Part 1 of KB307545 is rather 'at risk' and I found that the easiest to perform this procedure is to boot from a CD of Linux Live [free] such as Knoppix.  These discs are easier to create than those above and do not imply generally download an .iso file and using the function 'Burn Image' programs of disc burning to create the CD of this download.  Once started on the Linux CD, pick up the KB307545 in part 2, step 6.  Copy files using the graphic interface of Linux (Right-click-Copy and Right-click-Paste) instead of using command line commands, as described in the article.  You end up copying five files in the folder "System Volume Information" which contains the system restore points in the \Windows\System\config directory, then you stop, remove CD and restart on your hard disk and then perform a restore of the system (part 4 of the procedure).

    Hope this helps and good luck,

    Hello

    Take it to a real computer store (not the leeks and peaks at BestBuy or a BigBox store) and the
    put a new hard drive in it and reload Windows. The old disk can be put in another computer that the
    second player or in an external drive cover so the files on it hopefully can be replaced. Then, the
    This data can be saved to other media. Redundancy is better so use several methods.

    It is also possible the player you have can be fixed, however, more you try with the error
    you have most likely it will fail.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows\System32\Config\System is missing or damage on Satellite 5200

    Hello

    After a system crash I have on my 5200 always the next message after startup:

    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    -WINDOWS-System32-CONFIG-SYSTEM
    You can try to repair this file...

    As I wrote in various support forums, it seems that the Windows XP registry is corrupted. There is an adviser to Microsoft to fix this, but that's why I have to boot from the CD.

    I tried to change the sequence of booting (from HDD to CD) access the BIOS at startup but all the possible key (and combination) did not work, I found: F12 (which should be the right one for the 5200 series), F1, F2, DEL, C,...
    If I hold down ESC at startup I get a minimal installation but only to change the time and date.

    Are there any experience available regarding this issue? Toshiba support responded to my support request.

    Thanks in advance!

    'What's in the name

    If the system crashed, power lost, has been reset, power off, had an aborted restart, abnormal termination, etc. while XP is running, you may see messages like this.

    Despite what the message and Internet search engines to suggest for the error (such as Microsoft KB307545), the message does not necessarily that the registry is damaged.

    In fact, I've never found this is the case.  The real problem is usually XP could not find or read the file where it says to look for.

    The usual problem when meeting this message is that the file system is corrupted and just run chkdsk/r from the Recovery Console.  That will usually fix things well upward.

    It makes no sense to start to try to copy the files on a hard drive where the file system is damaged and if begin in this sense, you are probably in for one agonizing and frustrating waste of time for what is usually a very simple problem (how much time you have spent so far?).

    You can certainly find out other ideas!

    If you have found in the XP Recovery Console, you must run chkdsk /r first.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    However, because we don't know anything about your system with the exception, it is a laptop, which can be difficult to start.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Do you know if the system has installed the SATA drives?

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    THANKS AND BYE - ads

    Hello Adnan,

    There is unfortunately no way to load your operating system with the error you describe. As you have already discovered it does not load even in 'SAFE' mode

    This means that you only options for recovery are: -.

    1 reinstall the recovery CDs (which will lose all your data during the re-form)

    2 try to recover the situation by using a Microsoft Installation CD authentic (by using the Recovery Console)

    3 remove the hard drive from your laptop and screw (with a USB caddy) to another PC so that you can
    Retrieve your data befor using option 1 above.

    Option 3 would probably be your best way to recover and would mean that you would not lose your data.

    I also recommend that you invest in a proper backup strategy (possibly drive external hard USB and a utility such as Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image) so that you can protect your system from such incidents in the future.

    Kind regards

    Unfortunately I can't find my original CD boot disk & I don't want to lose the files saved... not too good sense when it comes to problems with this...

    If anyone can give some advice please, it drives me crazy! Laughing out loud

    Alan.

    Heyho,

    looks like you're in big trouble. I think the only chance to backup your files is to get some linux live CD (knoppix, ubuntu and mandrake) and an external hard drive to copy the files to your hard drive internal to external hard drive attached.

    The best way would be to ask a technician or a guy who is VERY familiar with computers to backup your data.

    After that you need to reinstall your operating system but without the recovery CD, you are out of luck. Then you don't have a lot of options.
    One of these options is to look for startup disk or how to call it: "restore CD". If it is not available you should contact an authorized local dealer servicepartner toshiba and get a new recovery disk. The last option is to buy a Windows XP or to ask someone (family, friends, the one who) for a Windows XP to install.
