My 10 y.o.'s machine won't boot up. It gets to a certain point in the process and then says C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is missing or corrupt. Can't boot in safe mode. Recovery console gets me to the C:\ prompt, but I can't do a DIR or change directories. I can reinstall XP but we'll lose everything on the HD. Any ideas on how to recover at least to the point where he could back up a few things? He's now figured out why I have multiple back ups of my stuff. :o) TIA Rocky
