Hi, I was directed here by a friend. Recently my start up has failed and it has the following error message:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrpt
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
I've tried using the various repair methods suggested to me from various sources and websites, but I've been unsuccessful. I'm desperate and need to recover at the very least documents for work and ALL my MP3s, all of which are in the My Documents folder of my profile.
I've created a Knoppix CD version 5 that has successfully loaded, but as I am unfamilar with it's layout, could someone direct me as to how I may retrieve my files from Windows for backup, so that I can erase my HD and start over with a new install? I have many blank CDs as well as a 250GB external drive that connects via USB 2.0 Please any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
