Im reallllyy frustarted right now

windows is saying system conifg file is missing or corrupt, need to run recovery

i lost my xp cd i have here

i left my recovery cd in school in canada

and everything online is saying i need the cd

how do i get into recovery

computer is lenovo g550 and the recovery button on it wont work at all....

[BoostedSchemes]

lol... did you delete system32 in order to speed up web browsing?

tell us how you got here, might even be a hardware issue

[Avistar23]

Came home from work, computer was off, thought that was strage...try to turn on and this is what ive got


also giving me blue screen when i try some recovery cd, blue screen telling me to check hard drive.

Automatic updates enabled? May have fucked you. Try using a friends computer to burn one of the 300x10^135 copies of xp on bit-torrent. The CD doesn't have any special shit on it, so any copy will work as long as it's the same edition.

Ive tried to do a fresh install, and its blue screening, i tried putting in another hardrive and booting from cd, it gets to "starting windows" in the install and then blue screens again....

im getting very confused...  i found some emergency recovery disk online...

[Joseph Davis]

I've had computers that were a shitfight to do an install on.  Keep trying, once it takes you should be fine.

[Ntrain2k]

low level format that bitch, then try a fresh install.

You might have some boot sector BS going on.

[SgtB]

If it's a boot sector you can always use fixboot with the /mbr switch in the recovery console.You could also have a dead mobo or videocard. I have an old as dirt amd that I was going to trash. Found a bad capacitor on the videocard and swapped the card for a new one. Runs like a champ now.

as I expected, this is for sure a hardware issue. the "missing or corrupt file" shit has been coming around since 1996 to tell you you oc'ed too much, too much heat, not enough volts, too much bus ^, or your hdd ate feces

[Avistar23]

So it had a bunch of bad sectors that chkdisk just found

took windows 7 pro

it works


im super happy

lost all my data, but the bitch is back on the road!

however need to change the brake fluid in my evo or else im going to hit a wall

and the map sensor took a shit in my moms Pajero Jr. and cant find one anywhere besides the uk for 150 pounds

thats all for now folks!
