Windows xp won't boot - \windows\system32\config\system is damaged or can't be found
It says windows can't be started up because \windows\system32\config\system is damaged or can't be found.

I already tried bootcfg but doesn't make any differnce. Please help thanks.

I did step 1, 2 and 3 of this link: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;307545

Now I start up Windows and gives the Lsass.exe - systemerror (There's a wrong parameter given to a service or function). (Translated from Dutch).

Any idea what to do now?
