Windows XP SP3, corrupted registry. Corrupt / missing windows system32\config\system - restore via Recovery Console cannot copy files of origin of the system32 folder. Please help.

When my husband's computer was incorrectly stop we met the ' Windows XP didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "error message. I understand that the registry is written on the judgment and that it is not rare that the registry damaged during the power failure or abnormal stop. Checking the bandages for details on how to proceed, and begin the process of recovery appearing in theArticle ID: 307545 of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us below:

«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 folder System32\Config.» 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.

There was no administrator password prompt, but the console began without incident. I was unable to copy these files to a folder. (Yes, I checked my spelling and made certain that the commands, parameters and syntax are accurate.) I created another directory and tested the console by copying the files to repair to the secondary directory. These copied without any errors. I was able to discern that there are no problems with the console itself.  At this point, I'm not sure how to proceed.  There is data that has not yet been backed up and must be recovered where it is suggested to do a new/factory install. Therefore, I need to know if there is another way to proceed to the recovery or if I do a fresh install. In addition, any suggestions on its disk data recovery, if the new installation is the only way to move forward, also would be appreciated. Thank you.

Just to be clear, when you have tried, for example, to run this command:

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

You have an error message (please report it to full) or maybe nothing happened.

But you did another directory (say 'c:\windows\otherdir') managed by running the following command:

Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\otherdir\system

If this is the situation in which you are in, you are essentially impossible to create a backup copy of the current registry damaged.  This is not the end of the world, because as you can see by reading the full article, you never use these files master anyway.  This step is just included "on the side of caution" so that you can restore the original registry files, corrupted, if for some reason you wanted to.

Because you cannot start the system anyway, you might as well begin the process described in the article without creating these master files.

You can either make the step remove first:

delete c:\windows\system32\config\system

or just try to copy the files in the directory of repair on the files in the \system32\config directory and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to replace the existing file.

Note that the success of this procedure assumes that you run the system restore.  Otherwise, you'll find yourself with the registry as there was when Windows installation - which certainly won't be compatible with the State of your machine today.

Essentially, what you are doing are the following:

1. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry to its state when you first installed Windows.  This allows you to start Windows - but do not try to use any application program.

2. in Windows, copy of the registry that is saved in a recent restore Point to a location that are accessible by the Recovery Console - but not by using the restore application from the system itself, because with the 'original' registry, System Restore is not aware of these restore points.

3. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry using the files you made available at step 2.

I don't really know what's the point of the stage of section 4, unless it is to use system restore to restore to a different restore point.

If you can't make things work by following the steps above, or if there is no recent restore points to use in step 2, then you are correct: you must backup your data, do a clean reinstall of Windows, then reinstall your applications with original media and restore your data from backup.

If you are able to do step 1 and start Windows with its original register, you should be able to use the native Windows tools to backup your data.  I would not use NTBackup, but rather just copy (do not use the 'move' command) data on an external hard drive.  Alternately, you could boot from a live CD of Linux (for example, Knoppix) to access your drive and copy the data.  Or if you have a bootable CD from a like Acronis Disk Imaging application, you can use it.  If you would like more information in this sense, after return.

  • Windows xp sp3 corrupted/missing windows system32\config\system

    Due to the plant after installing sp3, I got the message: "windows has not start because the following file is mising or corrupted \windows\system32\config\system."

    Then, I preformed another destructive restore. again, had the same message. Instead of making another destructive recovery, I did a repair.

    Everything was fine, installed all updates etc. Until I installed sp3. I woke up, started the pc and ONCE again, got the same message.

    I have a HP a375c running windows xp (with sp3).

    I can occasionally, to restart, and it will load. But it's unstable. I can't trust to continue trying to restart and then ultimately won't be able to end.

    I also received a message: c:\i386\dist\system32\dll.dll can not be recovered.

    The system is unstable. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Apparently, will not be supported sp2 for my system more, Windows XP 32-bit Home Edition.

    How can I fix? It seems to me, that's a problem with sp3.

    I'm tired of performing, destructive and non-destructive, System Restore, etc. Over and over again. Only that it is down. As you know, doing the recovery takes ALL DAY, having to get all updates.

    Help, please...

    I use the original recovery cd of HP.

    HP Pavilion A375c Windows XP Home Edition 32-bit

    I changed the drive (long ago) of chkdsk, found no problems.

    I added Ram.

    This message refers to the hive of the registry.  Is to say that the registry is missing or corrupted, in which case it cannot be loaded.  the question is what is the cause of registry errors.

    It would again be a failing hard drive? Perhaps, your poor quality in windows software installation.  Perhaps, you use your system very strongly but not to keep optimized/set up as regular check records and defragments.

    the disk check reconcile file in the file system to the master file table.  because as long as the files are indexed on the mft, then they won't show up missing.  and Defrag makes sure that the files on the disc are not highly fragmented, as your registry hive.   If one of the many fragments that make a single file corrupted, then all the fragments that becomes unusable.

    so, my suggestion is that if you do not have access to a cd to boot xp in order to launch the recovery console and access the drive prompt, then try to do a boot-able with utilities on that cd so that you don't have to use your recovery cd.

    I did not one of them provided by this site, but I've not heard bad things on this subject: http://www.ubcd4win.org/index.htm

    then when you finally get to the disk prompt run command >:

    Chkdsk /r

    the slash r will mark bad sectors on your hard disk and make windows to ignore the wrong places when writing data to the hard drive in the future.

    also, since you seem to escape that you get this type of error several times, then my suggestion is to make a backup of your registry hive.  This way you can restore via a boot-able floppy.

    If the disk check / r fails to correct the problem with the registry, then you can replace it with a base in a safe place inside the windows folder.

  • Frequent blue screens, load error popups, no more access to the Windows Firewall or system restore.

    ORIGINAL TITLE: Many many problems at once.

    I get frequent crashes and Blue Screen of Death, and error loading of pop-up windows, so I can't access Windows Firewall or system restore. What happens here? I deleted the last hardware (a second printer) and a P2P program.  I ran AVG antiviris and Superantispyware programs several times, same mode without failure, but nothing have mounted there. I also have a report of error that Windows Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing Service cannot start due to a missing path.  Which maybe can be causing all these problems? I think of reformatting my hard drive, but it's a last resort.

    I could not run the system restore, even in safe mode. Last good known Configuration did not work, either. However, clean boot seems to have done the trick. I no longer get the popups on start up and I can access firewall Windows, which is now on. Oddly enough, my EVG and Superantispyware programs wouldn't let me download the latest updates. Since they are free programs, they offer very little help to solve problems, so I uninstalled both of them (at the same time as Windows Defender to avoid conflicts) and installed Windows Security Essentials which works very well. My last problem is one is the crash suddenly, but to be honest I him have not lived since the clean boot. Hoping that...

    Thank you very much for your help. I was almost to the point of reformatting my hard drive, this is not a walk in the Park, no matter what they say.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems like frustrating and a lot of time as possible by asking only not for any information system when a new question is asked.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    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 working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

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

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
    For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
    Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
    It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
    According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
    Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
    System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
    That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
    Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
    Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
    No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

    How to extend my C drive volume in Windows 7, so that the disc I want to merge in drive C is not adjacent to the C drive, please help

    Jackin salvation,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    When resizing of volumes in Windows7, you must be aware of the following criteria:

    • Only you have the possibility to reduce or enlarge NTFS or RAW (unformatted) partition using Windows 7 tools.
    • When you shrink a partition, files not movable as a page file or a shadow storage area are not resettled. This is why you cannot reduce the size of the Windows beyond volume where these types of files. If you need to reduce the volume, you will need to remove, move or delete the page file or the shadow first storage area, and then reduce the volume and then add the page file or shadow storage on the disk area.
    • If enough bad clusters are found on the disk partition will not shrink.
    • You must be logged on to an administrator account in order to resize Windows Volumes in windows 7.

     

    Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes of shrinkage

    This section shows must shrink a Windows volume or partition. To do this, we must open the Windows 7 disk management tool. The following steps will guide you in this process.

    1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop , and then click the Control Panel menu option.

    2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

    3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

    4. Double-click the computer management icon. The console of the computer management will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

    5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'm going to resize the partition E: of 16 GB so that when completed, there is a 8 GB partition and provides another 8 GB of free space I can use for other purposes.

    6. To shrink the partition, just click with the right button on the partition that you want to work with and select reduce . In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, I select shrink.

    7. A screen similar to the one below appears. This screen indicates the size of the current partition you, how you can reduce it to a field where you can enter a specific amount to reduce, and then how big partition will be once it shrinks. By windows 7 default enters the maximum amount that you can reduce the volume, but if you want to change this amount, do so by entering the amount in MB in the enter the amount of space to shrink in MB: field. When you are satisfied with how windows 7 will shrink the partition, click the minimize button.

    8. Once windows 7 is complete decreases the volume, you will be in the disk management screen, but now the partition size will be the size you requested as shown below.

    Now that you have reduced the size of your volume of Windows, you can close the computer management console.

    You have now finished reducing your score and you have the extra space available for use as required.

    Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes extension

    This section shows that you must extend a Windows volume. To do this, we must open the tool of disk management where we can resize our volumes. The following steps will guide you in this process.

    1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop, and then click the Control Panel menu option.

    2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

    3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

    4. Double-click the computer management icon. The computer management console will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

    5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'll extend the E: partition so that it uses the rest of the available space on the disc 1.

       
    6. To extend the partition, he just click right-click on the partition that you want to work with, and then select the Extend option. In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, select Extend.

    7. A wizard appears as shown below. Press the Next button to continue.

    8. A new screen, shown below, is displayed allowing you to select the free space available on your local hard disks that you can use to extend the space of the selected partition. It is important to note that Windows 7 allows you to extend a volume using free space on the same drive as well as the other disks. I strongly suggest that you do not extend a volume on a disk with free space of the other. It is because if one of the disks has a hardware failure, then all data on this volume will be removed. Rather just to use the free space on a drive that contains the volume you extend
      .

      As discussed in step 5, for this tutorial we are going to extend my 8 GB partition (drive E :) to the total size of disk 1 using all the available space. As disk 1 is only available free space on my computer, windows 7 automatically select as shown in the image above and use the maximum amount available to extend the partition. If there were other drives with free space that they have shown during the selection available .

    9. You will be now be presented with a confirmation screen. If you are sure you want to extend the volume, press the Finish button. Otherwise, press the back button to make changes or the Cancel button to cancel this operation.

    What is a boot CD, you hear the installation cd? a restore cd?

    What printed the cd on it?

    what you want to do is to run checkdisk from recovery console, and unless your installation cd is sp3 which most is not, then you will need to burn a cd with recovery console on it and run chkdsk from there. you will have to run again and again until there is no error.

    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:

    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:

    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:

    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.

  • While trying to install windows 7 pro 64-bit, as the files to try to finalize an error message appears and says that windows cannot manipulate files to work with the hardware in my computer

    Trying to install windows 7 pro 64-bit, and while files are trying to finalize a message error shows up and says windows can't handle files to work with the hardware in my computer.

    The only thing I can think is that maybe the Mobo is not compatible with windows 7, do not answer on the Asrock web page.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?
