OK,
The GF's old Dell PC is coming up with the a message saying that the
windows\system32\config\system
file is either corrupt or missing and that she should enter recovery mode by pressing r at the first screen using her original installation disk.
I asked "Have created a recovery disk?" to which the reply was somewhat vitriolic. Apparently the disk was another amount of money which she didn't have at the time of purchase, and didn't know she could create a recovery disk.
I know bog all about PC's so if anyone knows how to create a recovery disk for XP or point me to where I can download an image from MS (their website bangs on about floppies! Can you still buy those?) for a CD?

Well managed to get it to chkdsk (via some BIOS changes) and chkdsk /r?
Do I now run setup? Will this wipe the HDD?+++++++++++++++++++++
