    Hi when I try to boot into XPpro, I get the following message

    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    \windows\system32\config\system

    Anyone know what to do, I just installed a new maxtor SATA 120gig HDD last night, set windows and all drivers etc up, shut down, when i tried to start it today i got that
    thanks
