Unable To Start PC .. SYSTEM File Missing.../Windows Could Not Start Because The Following File Is Missing Or Corrupt:

Feb 4, 2005

So my sister gets hold of a computer in the house and ruins it, and here is the dilemma I am facing: I turn on the computer and right away i come to this message....
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
windowssystem32configSYSTEM
Attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the Original CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
So I enter the cd rom and press 'r' for repair, I choose C:windows, however before it can begin to repair it asks me for an 'Administration Password' which I have no idea of after many attempts.
I do not want to have to format the pc since I have some very important files on it. Any help is appreciated.

Could Not Start Because The File Is Missing

Aug 27, 2005

I had a registry problem based on my description. JJ suggests repair using MS registry repair and rewriting software. Can I use the software if I can not boot up? Do I simply start the system with the repair software loaded in the drive? Emachine 4160, XP Home. Error message, " Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt, WindowsSystem32ConfigSystem. I tried tapping F8 during startup to get to
Safe Mode, no luck. I can use the restore disc to reload but I want to save my wife's pictures on the exiting hard drive.

The Taskbar Was Missing And IE Would No Longer Start?

Jul 24, 2008

was cleaning up PC, ran spybot/virus scan then turned my attention to the hard drive. When I ran Error Checking though, it took MUCH longer than normal and when I rebooted the taskbar was missing and IE would no longer start. This is XP Prof SP2 btw. I checked the obvious taskbar settings, tried restarting explorer.exe via task manager, ran sfc, undid the changes made by spybot and still nothing. I also tried to system restore, but it wont let me load it, saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer. Please restart your computer and try system restore again."

Sep 21, 2009

I shut down my laptop before I left last night and when I hope, my system didnt shut down all the way and there was a blue screen saying an error had occurred and if this was the first time I had seen the message to shut the ocmputer down and restart it.I did as instructed. When I powered it back up, I recieved a message saying Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:<Windows root"system32
toskrnl.exe. Please reinstall a copy of the above file.The problem is, I don't have the XP cd as my laptop came pre-installed. A friend suggested I go into the safe mode and do a system restore to the last saved date.

Unable To Start / Certain Files Are Missing

Dec 19, 2008

I was unable to start Windows XP and was in a sort of start-up loop. I reinstalled Windows and I have had to start again from scratch. Everything seems to be working OK but when I start up each day I get messages to say that certain files have been lost due to a hardware or network failure and to save these files elsewhere.

Windows Could Not Start Because The Following File Is Missing

Apr 23, 2010

I was recently given a compaq sr1330nx desktop computer that didn't work. After putting in a different power supply it started right up. It hadn't been used in over a year and I downloaded the 62 high priority updates needed and installed them. The next morning when I started it up it was very slow and unresponsive. I ran the error check utility and defragmented the hard drive. Still very slow and inconsistent. Then is when I probably screwed up and reset the 2 jumpers on the motherboard and went into the bios and checked "reset configuration". Now all I can get is a line of white bars across the bottom of a black screen and the message "windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: C:windowssystem32configsystem. You can attemt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup cd-rom. select 'r' at the first screen to start repair."

Explorer.exe Missing Normaliz.dll - Won't Start?

May 13, 2010

My son in his wisdom decided to clear some of his long long list of updates from his Laptop and get a set of fresh updates. Now he can't start Windows or in Safe Mode. Where Explorer.exe cannot start, because a normaliz.dll is missing and it freezes the cursor and keys on the log-on page. Can't get to restore or etc. Done a chkdsk, all ok. Can this be repaired using the XP CD in recovery mode, if so how.

Could Not Start / File Is Missing Or Corrupt

Jan 25, 2008

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?

Start Up - File Missing Windowssystem32c_850.nls

Aug 28, 2005

Last night, my PC started randomly restarting when I was copying files from a CD. It did it a few times, and I thought it may have just been overheating. However, now when I start my computer now, there is no BIOS and just a blank screen which is there for a good few mins. Then the loading bar (You know the one, White rectangles is all that's on the screen...just before windows loading screen) appears. However it only loads VERY slowly and when it gets to about an inch of the way in, I get a message telling me that a file is missing/corrupt and I can use the recovery console to fix it. Does anyone have any tips on how to use the console to repair this? I only want to reinstall windows as a very last resort. The file that is missing is: windowssystem32c_850.nls

After Install Taskbar And START Missing

Dec 2, 2007

I just installed Win XP on a freshly formatted C: drive of an IBM HDD using a slipstreamed XP disk.It appeared to install normally, loaded all the required drivers and configured without problems. But when booted and rebooted several times it shows a desktop with the standard background, BUT NO TASKBAR nor START BUTTON. The computer is ok because it loads XP normally from the slave drive.When I run the Task Manager it shows the startup files, explorer.exe and normal processes, but will not respond to the shutdown option.Since I can't access "Run", I can't run "Regedit" or any of the suggestions made to others.

Ntfs.sys Missing - Suddenly Won't Start

May 1, 2008

So my computer has been running perfectly normal lately (with the exception of a Vundo trojan infection, which I removed about 2 days prior to this)Last night I was burning a DVD (I do this all the time) and a couple hours later when I look at my computer it's at a black DOS-like screen that says the following:"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: System32/Drivers/Ntfs.sys"
My computer is a Gateway, so I have their restore disk. I really don't want to have to reformat Windows though. Is there another way to fix this? I have the option to "Repair" using the Gateway restore disks too, but I'm worried that will either delete my files or screw something up
