I was in the middle of something on the PC, just filling in an application form and burning a movie off on nero, and then we had a power cut (we've had bad storms today). Once the power came back on i restarted the PC (i use a surge protector so i wasn't expecting any problems) and i get this message:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
windows\system32\config\system
You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM.
Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
So i tried to do this, and it goes to the repair console, but then it does nothing and it just stays on a DOS looking screen waiting for me to input a command. Any ideas on what i need to do?
