Re: Missing or corrupt file in Windows XP
In this case you need to delete the existing registry files, and then copy the System Restore Registry files to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder:
Following are the steps for Deleting a File:-
- Start Recovery Console.
- At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
- del c:\windows\system32\config\sam
- del c:\windows\system32\config\security
- del c:\windows\system32\config\software
- del c:\windows\system32\config\default
- del c:\windows\system32\config\system
- copy c:\windows\tmp\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
- copy c:\windows\tmp\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
- copy c:\windows\tmp\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
- copy c:\windows\tmp\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
- copy c:\windows\tmp\default c:\windows\system32\config\default
Note Some of these command lines may be wrapped for readability.
- Type exit to quit Recovery Console. Your computer restarts.
This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed to the C:\Windows folder. Make sure to change C:\Windows to the appropriate windows_folder if it is a different location.
