Answer» One of my users is getting this MESSAGE:
missing corrupt file: winnt\system32\config\system
Here is my question -- we have encrypted machines but I need to fix him ASAP, he is out of the office until Friday, of course he NEEDS something off his computer today, is there a way (if he can get to a dos prompt) to fix this in DOS?
Running win2K
THANKS Do you have the Windows CD?

Can you refresh my memory -- what is the dos code to copy files from the hard drive. I want him to be able to copy his data down from the hard drive before he runs the cd. Hold on a sec, What OS? What you going to do with the CD?win2000I edited my post, you must not have seen it.
What you going to do with the CD?The cd with the data on it? put the data back when the machine is fixed.
The cd with the executable? run it.You cannot put stuff on a CD with stuff already on it.
Also, I don't think you can write a CD in DOS. yeah didn't think I COULD write to a cd in dos, but I was really hoping I was wrong. Thanks very much for the linkGood Luck!if you have a USB device you could probably write to that....

If it is formatted FAT and if the BIOS supports it. If the desired files are on an NTFS partition, then DOS will not see it without special software.
Putting DOS on a pen drive and making it bootable is a handy thing to do. A biggish pendrive with BartPE is even better.Hi... I can not ping to any IPs.

Please start a new topic.Chances are the HD was formated as a NTFS file system. DOS dos not read NTFS formated drives. You need to create a NTFS boot up disk to access the files on the HD. Or if you can boot the system in safe mode and try to copy the files to a floppy. But you are limited to only 1.3mb on a floppy. You can slpit the file if it is bigger then a single floppy can hold using multiple floppys..
Good luck
