HI,
the windows\sysyem32\config\system file(the 'system' in task manager) in one of the computers at home(a toshiba satellite p4 2.8ghz winxp) seems to have gone missing, and as a result the computer refuses to startup, my bro installed winxp on another partition so he could copy out some documents, i later copied the missing file from the 2nd(working) installation to the original one using an app from hirens bootcd and tried to reboot the computer but it didnt work.
i dont have the recovery CD for the laptop so i'd like to know if there's anyway to sort out the problem without having to format and re-install windows all over again!
