[AccessD] Laptop Crashed again Help

It sounds like a hard drive failure to me but I could be wrong. There are
system CD boot disks that will let you see enough of the drive so you can
export your important data. You can download XP boot disks from
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm

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
