Sic6 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Okay. This is what's happening.. When I reboot, my computer shows this error, right after the BIOS screen:Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"Please press "r" to reboot and go to Recovery Console etc etc..I can still boot though, I just press the power button on the cpu tower to shut it down manually (bcoz it's stucked with that error message above). Then after waiting for a few secs I open it up and then sometimes it goes through.Any suggestions of how to fix this?Thanks Edited October 22, 2007 by Sic6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosh Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 That error means the System registry hive is corrupt. System contains info about your drivers, such as the current control set. It also contains software settings. Since you are just getting a system error, you could just replace the system hive following 307545. However since you randomly can boot, i would recommend running system restore, since a full restore point will have a full backup of your registry. Then i would make sure all your drivers are digitally signed.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
