I have 2008 Desktop Dell Computer with Windows XP. Well recently when I start up windows I get a black screen that reads " Windows could not start b/c the following file is missing or corrupt: \windows \system32\config\system You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Set Up by using the Set Up CD-Rom. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair. Well the problem is the computer didn't come with any of the recovery disk." Is there anything I can do to fix this problem without a recovery disk? I'm using my laptop computer right now until I can fix the other one.
