O/S Sony Laptop VA10
Hi,
My laptop will not boot (Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002.)I had an on screen message Quote: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt windows\system32\config\system Since I did not have an original windows xp disc as indicated on the screen I attempted a repair using ultimate repair and boot disc which unfortunately did not work.
I went into BIOS setup menu to Load default configuration. I now have an on screen message to say operating System not found. I down loaded Microsofts Repair Console but I am unsure if this will work or do I need windows xp to reinstall windows? without using Sony's recovery disc. Sony did supply a VA10 Recovery and Documentation Disc for Sony FR400 series but if I use this disc I will lose all data saved on my c drive. Is there any way install windows only? Assistance would be appreciated.
