Protect Yourself From the Windows/System32/Config error Message...continuedIf you were not able to log into your Windows profile in the recovery console, or if you were not able to navigate to the windows/system32/config directory, this likely means that the directory is gone. We have seen multiple reports of this occurring, and there is no discernible pattern that would indicate what is causing this problem at this time. This directory contains information required by Windows to boot, as well as information about your installed programs and saved passwords. If you currently are receiving the error "Windows/System32/Config/System file missing or corrupt," there is nothing you can do to remedy this problem. If you have important data on your hard drive, your information is still there and intact. We would strongly suggest that you seek the advice and experience of a local computer repair shop to copy this data to CD or DVD for you before you reinstall Windows. Reinstalling Windows will result in the loss of any data that exists on your drive. *note* If your computer is currently working fine, we have created a utility that will backup your Windows/System32/Config/System data so that if you are ever impacted by the "Windows/System32/Config/System file missing or corrupt" error, you can easily recover your data. Follow the link below to page 4 to download and use this free utility.
