Googay. I have a Dell 1100, xp. I get the message \windows\system32\config\system missing or currupt. It says to run disc. I cannot get it to run the xp disc. No matter what I do it comes up with the same thing. Any clues. Regards. Warren.

Hi, As you were using a Dell 1100 computer, so it seems that the operating system is an OEM version of Windows XP. Then it is recommend that you contact Dell to perform a repair for the Windows XP system. Thanks for your understanding.
