I am at CPL right now, and was told there was an overclocking contest. i was at 2.46ghz, and wanted to see if i could get my chip any higher.

so i try 12.5x200 with more voltage than before, and it says i have a corrupt file (at that location) and restart the comp, go into windows install, and repair the installation. i did all this, and go to repair, but it doesnt tell me HOW to repair it.

so finally, i boot to my scsi drive (main drive is a 120gb WD sata drive) and reload the sata drivers, restart, and the drive shows up.

now. how can i either fix the system file at c:\windows\system32\config\System (plain ol FILE), or replace it with one that does work. internet here is kind of crappy, so browsing google for a long time doesnt really work

any help would be great. thanks
 
do i type all of those in in one line...like

cd \windows\system32\config ren system system.old cd \windows\repair copy system c:\windows\system32\config

?
 
Just like this Joe, one line at a time and hitting ENTER after each...

cd \windows\system32\config + ENTER
ren system system.old + ENTER
cd \windows\repair + ENTER
copy system c:\windows\system32\config + ENTER
