[SOLVED]Recovery Mode in Windows

July 26th, 2016

so yeah this is the error message I get when the computer boots up
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM.
Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.

but then when I go into repair mode I’m kinda lost.
So anyone know what I should do, what I got to type, etc.
Gonna try google again in the meantime.

Type these in order in the recovery console

This means your registry is corrupt. Your best chance is to either
1)Use ERD Commander to perform an ‘offline’ system restore which should restore the registry
2)Use UBCD4WIN and run the program ‘Registry Restore Wizard.’
