Windows Doesn't Like Me Recently

time to read 1 min | 179 words

So, I come home today, and find that the computer is:

  • Turned off
  • Won't boot, saying that "\WINDOWS\system32\config\system" is corrupted or missing.

That file is one of the major registery file, and is mandatory for Windows to boot successfully. I followed the procedure outlined here, but I couldn't get it to recognize all the changes that I made to it.

The problem is that this is the second time that this has happened to me on that computer in about a month. The first time, I did a complete disk scan, and it verified that the dirve is okay. What I am afraid of is that it will happen again. I really don't have time for this stuff.

Any ideas what can cause this issue?

Right now I'm installing Windows to another drive, but I'm very pissed off about it.
