Windows XP can't start

[ajdupont]

Hi,
I just replied to another post in this forum and I rebooted. This is the message I got: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \Windows\System32\Config\System"

"You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original cd Rom. Select "r" at the first screen to start repair".
I then rebooted again and everything came up normally.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

This is for Win2000:

Not much, but it may give a starting point.
