Protect Yourself From the Windows/System32/Config error Message

This is a tutorial that will explain what the "Windows/System32/Config/System file missing or corrupt" error message is, and provide you a solution to restore the damaged System file. This tutorial will also show you how to backup and/or restore your windows/system32/config files to protect your computer against the dreaded windows/System32/config system missing error message.

First it is important to understand what is contained in the config folder and whet the "system" file in Windows XP does for your computer. Windows XP introduced software that allowed your Microsoft operating system to keep backups of critical Windows files. This has saved computer users countless hours of downtime and money. However, there are some core files contained within the Windows XP operating system that are not backed up automatically. These files are contained in the windows/system32/config folder on your hard drive.


*note* If your computer is suffering from the "Windows/System32/Config/System file missing or corrupt" problem, use the links below to attempt recovery now. If your computer is working properly at the moment, PLEASE follow the links to page 2 of the tutorial to learn how you can back up your system files so you can recover from this problem should it afflict your computer in the future. As of now, we do not know why this problem is afflicting Windows XP users, and we do not know how to prevent it from striking your PC. The best thing you can do with a healthy computer is to backup your Windows/System32/Config files now in case you experience this error. The back up is free, and it will not harm your PC in any way.

Recently there have been many computer users in our Service Centers complaining that their computer will not boot because the "system" file is missing. The "system" file is one of many that is stored in your windows/system32/config folder and it tells Windows XP how to start your computer and who to log in at startup. If this file is missing, your computer will not boot and you will see an error on a black screen stating: "Windows/System32/Config/System file missing or corrupt."

There are two scenarios where this can happen. In the first scenario, the system file is simply corrupt or missing and needs to be replaced with Windows XP's backup copy. Follow the links below for instructions on replacing the corrupt windows/system32/config/system file with the backup file stored by Windows XP.
