currupt windows file refusing to start.

So my rig is refusing to start as a needed file is currupt*apparently*
so well i dont have the windows CD as i lent it to my friend and he moved to edinbrugh without returning it

the file is: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

so well i was wondering if this file is small maybe someone might be able to send it to me via the internet then i can replace it using knopix?
is that possible?

Thanks, shimy

heres my email.
windows is refusing to start in all ways. not even safemode.
but so cunningly i have managed to turn it on using knopix so i can use that to replace that file. You can find the file in that location thankyou.

long story short- its in the bin

and i doubt it will complane if i use linux because none of the files in wondows file will be in use.
