Window XP home does boot and setup CD No.
My Dell 8400 running Windows XP Home edition does not start. File \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is missing or damaged. Of course I don't have the original installation CD-ROM. All solutions? None of the options F8 works!
If you have a Dell Dimension 8400, the reason for which you do not have the "original setup CD-ROM" is because it never existed in the first place! According to the owner's Manual:
http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/systems/dim8400/en/OM/U70350LRs.PDF
How to cancel your Dell in its original state is to use Dell PC Restore by Symantec (see p. 57).
So if nothing else works, as long as your hard drive is still in good health and the recovery on it partition is still there, you should be able to do it again if necessary.
But before you do this, you should try running chkdsk/r out of the XP Recovery Console. If you have access to ALL XP installation CD (they all contain the XP Recovery Console), you should be fine. If this isn't the case, you can create your own CD of bootable XP Recovery Console. For more information, see the JoseIbarra responding in this thread:
If chkdsk does not resolve your problem, the method described here will normally solve your problem:

When you check the paths in the boot.ini file, and the recovery console is installed, you will always get an error message indicating that the startup path is not valid.
If the recovery console is actually corrupted just to uninstall, you can reinstall or burn a cd with the recovery console.

Here's how to make a bootable xp recovery console cd
Courtesy of JoseIbarra
You need start by booting in XP using a CD Recovery Console, you can do (no XP media required) and run a chkdsk with error correction command enough times until it is clean and if it does not, you can create a new boot.ini file (this is usually one of two things).
Here's how:
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.
Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.
If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).
This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.
You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.
The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:
RC. ISO
Download the ISO from here:
http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/?p=8 (courtesy of Daavee)
Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:
When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.
Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:
http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61
It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.
You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive. These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load. If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.
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:
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.
===============
as for the other problems:
did you use Registry cleaners?
These can damage your system
You seem to be free of infection, it would seem that a part of your process cleaning has removed a necessary file.
===============
Checkdisk with parameter/r should be run. and run it again until there is no error.

Fix Windows Vista Home Premium through re-setup
After that Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 kept getting the application hangs and therefore do not start quickly, correctly, restart or shut down, even in Safe Mode, it has become virtually indispensable for me to use cleanup utility by Acronis software black Armor backup drive Seagate to remve my local ACER vista hard drive PC desktop Aspire (ACER) C... and then temporarily install Windows XP(Service Pack 2 to start puis par le biais de mises à) Automatic day, Service Pack 3) to help the reinstallation of Vista, because I do not have a Windows Vista CD. Acer had only installed Vista on the PC but apparently provided no backup for this operating system reinstallation CD. This, in turn, which caused difficulties for activation will be resolved by reinstalling Vista. In what way, other than emailing Acer personal, then waiting for the purchase of CD to arrive, I can download it then re - install Windows Vista Home Premium so that I can easily reactivate Productdocumentation can comfortably upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate or Windows 7?
We don't know what you did on the Acer recovery Partition.
Here's the General info re reinstall Vista (your XP installation does NOT come in the advice given):
Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .
There is no Vista free download legal available.
https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer
Contact Acer 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, ACER is Alt + F10 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Windows Vista Home Edition - create and restore the system image
One of my laptops old becomes a problem with a disk error. I need to create a system image, replace the disk, and then restore the image. Vista Home does not include the option to create an image - although a lot of 3rd party tools do. Does anyone have experience using a 3rd third-party tool to do what I want, that is, restore the saved image to the new disk. I plan to use a USB external drive to store the image so anything I start since then will have to be able to see and read from the external USB drive.

HP dm4-3099se with Windows 7 Home Premium format and would like to re - install Home Premium

The system has been formatted (all disks have been removed except for drive C :) and an OS from Windows 8 pro installed. Shortly after the formatting, found the lost password. If possible, I'd like to go back to the operating system supplied with the system (i.e. window Home Premium) and also get all the drivers provided with the system.
Please, help me.
Hello
There are two options available.
1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office). They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.
2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.
Also, if possible, back up the folder swsetup which lie at the root of the C drive.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here. These Images are clean and a very respected source (Digital River).
Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Regarding the drivers etc, you must, if you were able to save the swsetup this will contain all the software installers and drivers for your laptop - if you were not able, drivers and software, you may need can be found here.
