Answer» im on a psp right now sorry ahead of time im on a psp right now sorry ahead of timeI really don't think slamming a laptop lid would do that...Maybe you should go to the Virus/Malware section...

If it jarred the hard drive and caused a head crash it could certainly do that. its not a virus. look at http://swatrant.blogspot.com/2005/11/windows-could-not-start-because_17.html to see the resolution i followed to get to where i am. the first 2 solutions didnt work so i had to follow the third one that loses system configuration and DRIVER installations. i believe i either damaged some hardware, or hopefully its something with the hives and i just need to get a few system files back. i guess my biggest problem is getting past the admin password now in the recovery console...sorry, character limit ... and getting the missing files without the recovery disk. dias, that sounds right. any idea on how i can recover the missing driver file? think that would even solve my problem?

I guess that hard DRIVES aren't mean't to handle big shocks, like advanced portable CD players are today...I'd check hard drive health first: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287I don't like the looks of that recovery method you linked to...it's incomplete at best.The other problem with that link is the fact, that OP is stuck at Recovery Console password, which can't be bypassed without booting to Windows, first.you think i will need a fresh xp install?Not necessarily, but you need to check your hard drive, first, then you're gonna need Windows XP CD to run some checks. \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM error MEANS corrupted registry/system files.so i will need the xp disk? no way to bypass admin pass and maybe get the missing files on disk to run on startup?I see no other way...
