Hello all
A friends xp computer is refusing to start because it cannot find WINNT\SYSTEM\CONFIG\SYSTEM I did some googling and found this Microsoft Article which seems to correst the issue.
However, the article says not to use that method on an OEM installation, which unfortunatley is what my friend has. The only option i could find with an OEM is to reinstall windows! I'd love to but he needs some data and isn't backed up.
Any advice is welcome
Thanks
