I got the infamous Blue Screen this morning. Dell Inspiron 8200. 512 megs 40 gigs Tried to reboot. It said" No, I do not want to" It continued "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt. \windows\system32\config\system. I got to a dos start up screen. Tried last known good. It said no( Lippy little laptop.} Ran repair console chkdsk /r /f at fifty percent, it gave up and said multiple non repairable errors. Thoughts on hardware or software issues to look at. This was a new hard drive about a year or two ago. Just spent $158 for a new battery. Any system test to see if this good money going into a bad machine? Thanks Joe
