System config corrupt

[Ian]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

In the middle of the night my comp rebooted for no
appariant reason, anyhow, I left it for the day, got home
and on the screen was a black screen saying
your "windows\system\32\config\system" is corrupt, ok,
tells me how to fix it, but using my windows cd and
selecting r for repair. I go there, select the c drive,
but whats the command to fix it? I typed help and got the
list of all the commands, but that didn't help, tried
typing in the path, didn't work. If I knew what to type I
could fix this, but I don't do you know what command I'm
suposed to type for this problem? All I supose I need it
this file to get repaired, but typing
in "windws\syste\..etc" didn't get me anything, I don't
know how to start per say the repair process.

Any help will be much appriciated, thanks in advance.
