Have discs. windows cant start. says file is missing or corrupt "\windows\system32\config\system. screen also says select "r" at first screen to attemp to repair using original setup cd-rom. attempts failed wont respond to the r
As the pc is booting press F2 or Del (dependant on bios) and enter bios set up.
Choose to make your cdrom as first boot device, save settings and exit bios.
Insert cd drive before the boot up starts and there will be a screen prompt to "press enter to boot from cd", press enter and then the cdrom will go to the next step, asking press 'R' to repair or press 'Enter' to format and install windows, choose repair if you have documents you need on your pc.
The system will then go through a full repair installation, when complete your system will be repaired and everything should be as before with nothing lost.
You may have a faulty hard drive so if you cannot get windows to repair it will tell you theres no drive found.
