Win XP message: c:\windows\system32\config\system

Hi,

after system restore with true image 8.0 my PC boots without any problem. If I start the system new, it shows allways "c:\windows\system32\config\system demaged"...

What is the problem, that the system only runs once Thanks for the support.

Cheers from Germany,

I happen to use Acronis version 8.

I've created and restored images many times.

I don't know what you mean by 'If I start the system new'.
If you see that message after you restored an image, then the image is probably damaged. Did you create an image of the entire system (assuming you have one harddrive) ? You don't have a hidden partition or some other partition issue ? When you try to restore an image, do you boot from the Acronis rescue CD (or whatever it's called) ?

If you tried to restore this image only once, you can try again, or you could try to restore a different image.

Actually, there is a section for Acronis products in this forum

 

Hello all,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

MadMatty, I suppose that the registry is corrupted. Please look through the article How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting available in Microsoft KB.

Thank you.

do a chkdsk c: /f from the command line. If you have a bartpe or windows xp installation cd that can get you a command line. That should fix any system file corruption.
