My Dell XPS 400 has just started giving me this message at startup: Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
I have tried using the windows cd to repair the files but whenever I hit r for repair, the recovery console says it can't find my hard drive. I have no floppy drive so I can't supply the driver to the recovery console.
I have used the diagnostic program to test the hard drive and it passes all the tests.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
