Fixing Your Computer in 8 Steps

I ran across a great article describing the process for fixing a computer that simply won’t boot because of a corrupted system file. One of these errors might apply:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup
using the original Setup CD-ROM.
Select ‘R’ at the first screen to start repair.
