Netbook worked fine until yesterday. When I try to start the netbook I get the following message " Windows could not start because the following link is missing or corrupt = \WINDOWS\SYSTEMS32\CONFIG\SYSTEM". Then it reads "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". My problem is that I do not have an original Setup CD as the computer did not come with one. I tried holding down O at powering up but no help. Any ideas? Thanks.

Here you go: Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.Boot the machine with your Windows 7 Repair CD.Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.Select "Repair PC" from the menu.Select "Repair" when prompted.Select System Restore when prompted.Set Windows back by a few days.
