Two days ago when I booted up my system I was greeted with the
following message ...
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or
corrupt: \Windows\System32\Config\System
I tried the "repair" option but that did not work so I ended up
reformatting and re-installing WinXP. Luckily I had most everything
backed on DVD so I really did not loose anything just the time it took
for the re-install. During the reinstallation several folders were
created in a partition on my secondary hard drive. These folders are
empty but when I try to delete them I am told by Windows ...
Can not delete file: can not read from source file or disk
Does anyone know of a way to get rid of these folders ? I did some
"Googleing" and did not find anything useful. Thanks!
