Windows\System32 is a file folder. How do you know it's missing? Are you
getting this error message:

Windows\system32\config\system File Is Missing Or Corrupt

?

Before we give you lots of troubleshooting steps, please post back with
the exact text of the error message and any attendant details you think
might be helpful to give us a good picture of your machine.
