• Windows does not start due to a lack or corrupt the file "\windows\system32\config\system.

  Original title: problems with \windows\system32\config\system.

  I met a now well-known problem where Windows will not start due to missing or corrupt file "\windows\system32\config\system" now, I have read articles about how to solve the problem but they all involve some kind of recovery cd while I use a Toshiba Mini NB205-N312/BL and have the cd player.  Any help to find a solution to this problem by using a usb key would be very appreciated.

  Hi Ickido,

  You have the disc to install Windows with you?

  If you do not have the Windows XP installation disk, I recommend you to make arrangements for a disc that is the same edition as it is installed on your machine.

  Subsequently, try performing a manual system restore by following this link.

• My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM.

  My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM. It is said it can be repaired by using the original installation CD, but we do not have. Any ideas please?

  The file is missing or corrupt is one of your files in the system registry.

  By far, the best way to recover from this is to go to another computer and create a free Hirens Boot CD.
  Download Hirens: <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ > (link at the bottom of the icon of the disk)
  Hirens CD burning <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/burning/ >

  Once you create the CD, and then start your system of problem with this CD.  In the first window, select "Mini Windows XP" and wait for the system to start.  When it starts, go to the Hirens Boot CD menu and select
  Register-> Registry Restore Wizard.
  then follow the prompts.  This wizard will return a copy of your registry database from backups that are stored with your system restore points.  After the restoration, stop, remove the CD and restart.

  When you start your system, it is recommended to perform a system restore operation to ensure the consistency of your system

• Problems starting Windows XP. I get "the following file is missing or damaged. \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"message.

  Original title: start windows xp questions

  Windows xp. When I try to start the system I get the message "the following file is missing or damaged. \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM... I have an xp disk and code but not sure if it is the origanal. When I start the computer, it does not start the windows xp disc.

  If you get the message hal.dll missing, your system is still booting from the hard drive and do not boot from the XP Recovery Console CD (I hope that you have created).

  There is no hal.dll on the CD you made if all goes well.

  You must enter the BIOS of your system and make the first boot from the CD to your Pcakard device Bell looks like it firstly, instead to focus first on the HARD drive (make the drive the second choice for now).

  Searching the Internet, I found a message that says to enter the Packard Bell BIOS you must do this:

  Users of Packard Bell, you can access the BIOS set up by pressing the keys F1, F2 or del

  I don't have a PB, so I can't say for sure if that works, or what to do after that - you will need to look around the BIOS for things like the boot order boot priority, etc. and make the CD drive the first choice, second choice HARD drive, save the settings, then you can boot from the CD I hope that you have made using these instructions.

  Generally when the system detects a CD is inserted, it will sell you a message like this:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Then all the button and follow the rest of the instructions...

  Nice day

  I'm getting this ' file is missing or damaged:------WINDOWS-SYSTEM32-CONFIG-SYSTEM ' error and Windows does not start in the F8 boot options. When I disable the auto reboot, I get a BSOD 51 registry error, consistent with the file "missing or corrupt" error Surprisingly "Recovery Console" works so I used to run chkdsk. This has not solved the problem, but even once, surprisingly, the utility reported no fixed error. Ok. I do research online (using another computer of course) and check out the many tips that I copy some files in my "c:\windows\repair" folder in the folder 'system '. Before I had time to do that, however, I found an article from Microsoft stating that this should not be done if you have an OEM System... what I'm doing. Apparently, hives system on these OEM installed OS set other passwords that can permanently block you on your records if you use this method. Thanks for the warning. My system restore disc is nothing more than a tool of re-insall OS that will wipe all my data in the process, and this is not desirable. Currently, I see again all my data on the drive by using the "recovery console". I'm ready to thread the needle on this one in the hope of re - access the operating system, although in some limited capacity. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  When you run chkdsk in RC, did you use the /r switch? This is the key! In other words, this should be the command:

  Chkdsk /r

  (there is a space before the slash)

  Moreover, KB307545 can be run safely on most OEM XP installations. Of course, nothing is guaranteed 100%.

  Before you do this or else, you really must ensure all data is stored safely. One way to do this is to start on a live Linux CD and then copy the files to an external hard drive. Another way is to connect the problem hard drive into a working PC and copy the files in this way. This could be done by the servo drive or with an adapter like this:

• Impossibile to "start Windows because the following file is missing or damaged. Windows system32 config system

  1. Impossibile to "start Windows because the following file is missing or damaged. Windows system32 config system

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes pulling and buttons power).

  These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

  If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

  There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so corruption of file system must be fixed first using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk can solve your problem completely.

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD, or create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).

  A CD of XP Recovery Console is not the same as the recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  If you have any bootable CD to run the XP Recovery Console or that you are not sure what type of bootable CD you have, can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

  If you need instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console, we can predict that too (just ask).

  After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:

  C:\WINDOWS

  For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:

  Chkdsk /r

  For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:

  CHKDSK c: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's 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.

  The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer and the report with your progress.

  Manual steps to recover a corrupted registry that prevents the start of the procedure that this article describes to Windows XP using System Restore and Recovery Console. This article lists also all required specific steps to ensure that the process is fully completed. When you have completed this procedure, the system returns to a state very close to the State until the problem occurred. If you have ever run NTBackup and completed a system state backup, you don't have to follow the procedures in parts two and three. You can go to part IV. First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the System32\Config folder. When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

  The full, first part, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
     Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
  2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
  4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
  5. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
     MD tmp
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

     delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
     delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
     Delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
     delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
     Delete c:\windows\system32\config\default

     Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
     copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
     copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
     Copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
     Copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

  6. Type exit to quit the Recovery Console. Your computer will restart.

  Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed in the C:\Windows folder. Make sure that replace C:\Windows with the appropriate dossier_Windows if it is a different place.

  If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step 5, and then create a text file called "Regcopy1.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:

  batch regcopy1.txt

  With the command batch to the Recovery Console, you can process all the commands in a text file in the order. When you use the batch command, you do not have to manually type as many commands. Second part to perform the procedure described in this section, you must be logged on as an administrator or an administrative user (a user who has an account in the Administrators group). If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you can connect as an administrative user. If you sign in as an administrator, you must first start Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode. To start the computer in Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode, follow these steps.

  Note Print these instructions before continuing. You cannot view these instructions after you restart the computer in Mode safe. If you use the NTFS file system, also print the instructions from article KB309531 of the Knowledge Base. Step 7 contains a reference to the article.

  1. Click Start , click shut down (or click turn off computer ), click restart , and then click OK (or click restart ).
  2. Press the F8 key.

     On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when you see the boot menu.

  3. Use the arrow keys to select the appropriate safe mode option and press ENTER.
  4. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, use the arrow keys to select the installation that you want to access, and then press ENTER.

  In part two, you copy the registry of their location saved files by using the system restore. This folder is not available in the Recovery Console, and is usually not visible on the typical use. Before you begin this procedure, you must change several settings to make the folder visible:

  1. Start Windows Explorer.
  2. On the Tools menu, click folder options .
  3. Click the view tab.
  4. Under hidden files and folders , select Show hidden folders and files , and then click to clear the Hide protected (recommended) operating system files check box.
  5. When appears in the dialog box confirming that you want to display these files, click Yes .
  6. Double-click the drive where you installed Windows XP to display the list of folders. If it is important to click on the correct drive.
  7. Open the System Volume Information folder. This folder is not available and is dimmed because it is defined as a file hidden doubling.

     Note This folder contains one or more _restore {GUID} folders such as "_restore {87BD3667-3246-476B-923F-F86E30B3E7F8}.

     Note You may receive the following error message:

  C:\System Volume Information is not accessible. Access is denied.

  If you receive this message, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for access to this folder and continue with the procedure:

  309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder
• Open a folder that was created not at the present time. You may need to click Details on the view menu to see when these folders were created. There may be one or more folders starting with "RPx under this folder. Here are the restore points.
• Open one of these folders to find a subfolder of the snapshot. The following path is an example of a folder path to the snapshot folder:
  C:\System Volume \RP1\Snapshot Information\_restore {D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}
• Starting from the Snapshot folder, copy the following files to the C:\Windows\Tmp folder:
  • _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT
  • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY
  • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE
  • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM
  • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM
• Rename the files in the C:\Windows\Tmp folder as follows:
  • Rename _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT DEFAULT
  • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY to SECURITY
  • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE to SOFTWARE
  • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM to SYSTEM
  • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM to SAM

These files are the system restore registry files. Because you used the registry file that the Setup program created, this registry does not know that these restore points exist and are available. A new folder is created with a new GUID under System Volume Information and a restore point is created that includes a copy of the registry files that were copied during the first part. Therefore, it is important not to use the most recent folder, especially if the time stamp on the folder is the same at the moment.

The current configuration of the system is not aware of the previous restore points. You must have a previous copy of the registry to a previous restore point to make previous restore available again points.

The registry files that were copied to the Tmp folder in the C:\Windows folder are moved to ensure the files are available in the Recovery Console. You use these files to replace the registry files currently in the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder. By default, the Recovery Console has limited access to records and cannot copy the files in the File System Volume.

Note The procedure described in this section assume you are using your computer with the FAT32 file system. For more information on how to access the folder of information system with the NTFS file system Volume, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder

Part three in the third part, you delete the existing registry files, and then copy the system restore registry files to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder:

1. Start the Recovery Console.
2. At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
   del c:\windows\system32\config\sam

   del c:\windows\system32\config\security

   del c:\windows\system32\config\software

   del c:\windows\system32\config\default

   del c:\windows\system32\config\system

   copy c:\windows\tmp\software c:\windows\system32\config\software

   copy c:\windows\tmp\system c:\windows\system32\config\system

   copy c:\windows\tmp\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam

   Copy c:\windows\tmp\security c:\windows\system32\config\security

   Copy c:\windows\tmp\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

Note Some of these command lines may be wrapped for readability.

• Type exit to quit the Recovery Console. Restart the computer.

Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed in the C:\Windows folder. Make sure that replace C:\Windows with the appropriate dossier_Windows if it is a different place.

If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step 2, and then create a text file named "Regcopy2.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:

regcopy2.txt batch

Fourth part

1. Click Start and then click all programs .
2. Click on Accessories , then System Tools .
3. Click System Restore , and then click restore to a previous RestorePoint .

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '
