Windows NT

I am trying to help a friend using windows NT, I recently was trying to get her in safe mode, when an error message came up saying operating system not found. I was trying to fix yet another problem prior to that when i was getting an error message saying "Windows Could Not Start Because the Following File Is Missing or Corrupt: \Winnt\System32\Config\Systemced" Can somebody please help.

 

here the link to a forum, where you can read the discussion dealing your problem, i think it would be useful.:

HI!
I feel for ya. Same thing happened to me using Windows 2000 Professional.
Same exact errors.
Only thing I could do was a reinstall ( happened 4 times in less than a year)and then finally all went down the tubes because the hard drive 'died'.
That was the problem...a failing hard drive. You lose critical system files.
Hope she has the CD. If you get her back up and running be sure to run diagnostics on the hard drive.

 

thanks Plaphon, will check it out!

 

No installation cd Toni, we are probably screwed

 

Plaphon, i think i have a good shot with that link, we are going to download ChkReg.EXE we will let you know what happens.

 

glad to hear that link turned out to be useful for you, post here the results.
