Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the WINDOWS\System32 folder in WinXP Pro? Or if there is something else I could do to correct the following error message I received a couple of days ago?

WINDOWS - Delayed Write Failed

Windows was unable to save all the data for the file C:\WINDOWS\system32. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

Firstly, I can't locate any failures in pc hardware and I know my network connection is fine. I'd rather not move a system folder but....if that's the only way, then how would I do that? Or, is there somewhere, possibly my CD or on the net that I could load the files I need?

Thanks for any help I may receive!

Georgie
