When starting the computer we get this message that goes something like this:
windows/system32/config/system is corrupt, you can attempt to repair this
file by starting windows setup using the original cd-rom, select 'r' at the
first screen to start repair.
When selecting 'r' at the first screen it restarts the computer and will not
allow us to enter the setup screen to repair/replace the system file. We
have also selected several other buttons and get the same result. How can we
get into the setup area?
