Win2k Could Not Start Missing or Corrupt C:\winnt\system32\config\system
My Dell GX150 had a blue screen error message that indicated a memory dump had occurred. After waiting for at least 15 minutes with no activity I manually rebooted the computer. When the computer came up and before it went to the Windows 2000 startup it made two short quick beeps and took me to a screen that indicated an error had occurred. At this time I went to another Windows 2000 computer and created a repair desk. I ran through the repair process, but the system would not repair. I then rebooted the computer with the windows2000k reinstall cd, the computer began to boot up but then stopped and gave the following error.
Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt
c:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\S
What can I do to resolve this and what exactly does this mean?

Beep during POST, again I screwed up I didn't write it all down
I have been able to bring the computer and run a SCANDISK on it and it tells me that the disk is fine?
At this time I am running the Win2k Installation Cd and going to try to run the r, command on it and see if this fixes my problem.
