Well the OC'ing bug bit me again. It hadn't been around for quite a while... not since the days of the TBirds. But when I got my brother a new NForce2 board and OC'd his TBred oooooh so easily... well I just couldn't help but order an unlocking kit and give a wack at my older Palomino. I knew that the Palominos aren't the best overclockers, but I had to prove it to myself. Anyway, the result of my efforts... corrupted file{s} on my main disk. I must say this is the first time I got corrupted files from OC'ing, though I have heard of it before.
Well here is the file that is faulty: \windows\system32\config\system
Yes, it looks bad doesn't it? I am running WinXP Pro. Is there a way to find this file somewhere(cd perhaps?) and just copy it over using the repair mode? I can't try ASR right now because I never made one of those emergency floppies. (come on, who actually did that?) I can always do a clean install since most of my data is on a secondary disk, but I haaaaaate installing everything all over again. Any suggestions guys?
Thanks!
