My ex-wife's PC always has problems so I finally bought her a Mac. I brought the PC home so I can get some pics off it for her. But this piece of crap won't start.

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

You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair."

So I insert the CD in the drive and restart but it keeps going back to this screen over and over and over and over. Doesn't seem to recognize the CD ROM drive.

Is there a way to force it to load from CD?
