One day, my system has given a problem while booting. It was not booting and showing the reason that the file /windows/system32/config/system file is corrupted. I had Linux OS on the same machine and hence immediately I decided to copy the same file from other system. Also I got the system with XP. I tried to copy the file which is corrupted. But couldn’t. Because that may be the system process and which is in use. Hence XP didn’t allow me to copy the file.
Then, I thought the problem is not so simple. Also, the size of the corrupted file in my system was 7MB and the file which I have tried to copy was 4 MB, which is from Laptop.
After one week, I got other system which was also having WinXP and Linux OS. Hence I was able to get the file /windows/system32/config/system. Then I copied the file from Linux using Pen Drive and I tried to boot the system. But I got the new problem..!
After these, the error which was coming earlier didn’t come. But it was not booting properly. It was coming till the scrolling window if WinXP. Once again I failed to solve the problem.
Then I decided to reinstall the OS freshly. While installing bootable XP was not booting properly. After taking input from the user for booting from CD, screen was blank...! At the beginning I didn’t any solution. After some time, I have deleted the file /windows/system32/config/system which took from other system.
At last, I have succeeded in installing WinXP once again.
Then I asked one of my friends who is good in understanding the problems and he told that the corrupted file may me containing the hardware information or current process information which could be more specific for my system.
I also concluded as the same.
