Hello, I messed up our 4 year old computer!! Tried to restore to a previous time. Not what I wanted, undid the restore. deleted LOTS of files from the recycle bin. Did a reboot.....
now comes up....
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\system32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
You can attempt to recover .....
I have the original operating system cd and try the restore..... I can't get past the administrator password.
Also, I really need to save the info on this harddrive. My quickbooks, etc. is on there!!
any ideas? Greatly appreciate the help.
I did pick up a second harddrive but I don't think 'I' want to mess with that. (Making a new harddrive then setting the 'original' one as a slave...)
