synnoveaevael | HALP!!!

Remember last night how I said how much it would fucking SUCK if I couldn't use my main computer???

WELL IT FUCKING SUCKS!!!

I came out here to use it and I moved my mouse and it got STUCK on a screen saver picture. So I don't know if anyone IM'ed me or what.

So I waited about 10 minutes. NOTHING. Fine. I restart.

SYSTEM ERROR.

It's telling me it can't find the STANDARD SYSTEM FILE. Just put in the Windows OS disc.

No problem. I have that.

It's not recognizing it's in there. I restarted it with the disc in there. I turned it off, I put the disc in after turning it back on. I've done like, everything.

And the disc is readable. My gaming computer (this one) sees it just fine.

I can't get to ANY screen. ANY OF THEM. I get a Dell start up screen then the error message of doom.

HALP HALP HALP

:(
ETA

This is the error message:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Set up using the original set up CD Rom.

Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.

But, uh, it never lets me get to a screen. doesn't even *start* the disc running.

:( :(

How do I run a disc in DOS? Better yet, how do I get to the fucking DOS screen? I don't fucking remember. I miss DOS. *sigh*

The *only* thing I did different last night was defrag it. And I HARDLY see how that's gonna fuck with it's world.
