Right then, I must admit this is all my fault through my stupidity. I let my friend come along to see if he could fix my computer and get rid of a malware thing I had, so he decides to try and re-install windows and it all goes tits up for a while, half way through installing it would just reboot and continue the install process and reboot again in a continuous loop.
And then one day this happened
"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt
C:..windows..system32..config..system
You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup CD-Rom. Select "r" at the first screen to start repair."
And once I press any key it reboots and appears again, and even with the windows setup cd-rom put in it keeps rebooting and wont let me go further. And I dont have the option to go to the windows xp recovery console.
I have bought another hard drive (which I was going to do anyway) and have hooked both up at the moment, Im running off the new one.
Can anyone help me? I have loads of important crap on the hard drive that i need to get back. Thanx
