when i turn on my pc i get the following 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 set-up cd-rom. select r a the first screen to start repair now i can get to the repair screen however i only get an ms dos like command prompt screen and i'm not sure where to go from here. Also as a side note does anyone know if my documents will be safe if it can be repaired. What happened was one day last week i turned in my computer and windows did not start so i rebooted it and it offered me the option to boot with the last known good configuration- the pc was working lovely, i shut it down that night but when i turned it on the next morning i got the above message ever since.
