View 3 RepliesI have a system that operates on Windows NT 4.0 Workstation.It's a fairly old computer, more than 5 years. During the night the fan in the powersupply stopped working, so the computer over heated. When I came to work in the morning it had the blue death screen of gibberish.I rebooted and it doesn't go through the whole boot up sequence but gives the following message:Windows NT could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <winnt root>system32 toskrnl.exe Please re-install a copy of the above file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis fault occurs on my brothers Win Xp machine, with the machine going round in the usual startup loop and never getting to windows. When booting from the XP cd, he can't use the recovery utility, because he can't remember the Administrators password.On one occassion in the recovery utility, we somehow managed to start windows (really don't know how, because it hasn't worked since).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI learned here that it might be a keyboard issue, replaced it with one known to be good and it didn't work. After some more fumbling around looking for a solution, I unplugged the HDD and plugged in the other HDD I have on the system with a separate installation of Win XP Pro and got the exact same error, even though I know for a fact it was working the last time I had it plugged in and it has not been plugged in since then.

Well, I woke up this morning to turn on my computer, and I got an error like this. "windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: windowssystem32configsystem. You can try repairing by using the original windows xp setup cd, press r on the first screen." Well, after scrounging for the xp cd, I put it in and booted from the cd, tried to do a repair install, but the repair option was not available. I could only install another copy of xp (onto the current copy) which I didn't want to do if it means that all my data is lost (I really don't want to lose them again!).I exited and googled up on why repair was not an option (I'm using my laptop btw), and some random dude told another guy with a similar problem to do chkdsk and bootcfg in recovery console. I went into recovery console and kind of played around with bootcfg, and I used the /rebuild function thinking it was repair, and then it asked me to type something and I was confused, so i entered "n" (for no). Well, basically now when I restart I have the option of booting up "Xp Home Edition" or "n", both of which lead to the missing file message, but how did I make two windows? And can I get rid of this "n" windows I made?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've had with it, nor the first time this EXACT thing has happened before. my boot files get corrupt. First I was told that boot.dll or some such file is missing. I repaired that through the Windows XP CD Repair option, then ran a chkdsk /r. Next bootup I was told another .dll - something like hal.dll - is missing or corrupt, and when I fix that, I was told my system registry is corrupt. The following file is missing or corrupt: C:WINDOWSSystem32System.exe, after booting from the Windows XP CD, hit ENTER for setup and then R to repair existing installation. if I try to start WinXP normally a blue screen flashes, some sentences spring up and before I can begin to read them, the PC reboots.

I was playing Medieval II: Total War and the computer crashes. Then when I try to boot it up I get Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM. I've checked BIOS for the boot procedure, and everything seems to be in order. I then go through the regular procedure of putting in the CD to run the repair. I boot from the CD, it loads up fine... but there are no partitions and no option to enter the recovery console (which I've read so many wonderful things about).
So now I'm sort of stuck. There's no options other than install and delete the selected (none) partition. If I hit delete (b/c in anger sometimes I'm an idiot) it tells me it's a system partition and there could be VALUABLE system information like AN OS (I'm fuming at this point). NO... I did not delete it. If I hit install, I get a bunch of bogus about how "Setup cannot install to the selected partition.
