My wife's computer is an eMachine running WinXP-Home SP2.

This morning when she booted up she received an error message that 
Windows cannot be loaded because the following file is missing or 
corrupt.

\windows\system32\config\system

You can attempt to restore this file by using the original Windows setup 
CD.  Select R at the first screen to start repair.

Not the question:

When we did this we got the message that everything would be lost, so 
we went no further.

Seems to me that in an earlier discussion someone said that after you hit 
restore you would then get other choices, one of them being  "repair" 
and that only when you made a selection would the action begin.

Can I get a confirmation of this?

Please help me or I'm dead meat!!  I'll have to "leave home" <smile>.

Thanks,

Jim
