Hi X-perts,<br />
<br />
I have posted a few postings, but nobody seem to give me a clue. here are the symptoms:<br />
<br />
1) winxp does not reboot. A standard message saying that the system file in the system32/config is missing or corrupted<br />
2) replacing the config files by the last good set of files does not help. I know that those files are OK, because used them to restore the system a few weeks ago<br />
3) replacing the files by very old ones from the windows/repair works SOMETIMES - only for one reboot. Then the situation repeats and the system cannot get loaded<br />
4) checking the disk for viruses does not show any. I have connected the HDD as an external drive to the 2nd computer<br />
4) NOD32 return warning &quot;Error reading MBR&quot;. I am not sure that it is a REAL problem or something related to permissions<br />
<br />
What is the best way to fix the problem? I really do not want to reinstall the windows...<br />
<br />
Any solutions, please.

winxp corrupted system in the config durectory

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Windows XP

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
