http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q307545 Hey guys. WinXP won't boot up. Followed directions in above link. Got to this point: copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system When I hit 'enter' it says, "The system cannot find the file specified". I was able to copy all other files except this one, and now I can't proceed any farther. Any suggestions on getting my computer to actually boot up to Windows? Or have I pretty much lost everything? I appreciate any help/info you can provide.

YUP. I assume you're at the root prompt in the recovery console. File is called systyem.bak not system. Type: copy c:\windows\repair\system.bak c:\windows\system32\config\system Dat she do'er.

Sorry about the typo. That's system.bak not system. Recession means that people's incomes, at the employer level, are going down, basically, relative to costs, people are getting laid off. GWB

Thanks for the help scout. Got Windows back up and running. You're a life saver.
