i am running windows 2000 server professional sp4. when i turned the server on this morning, it started the "loading windows" screen but then errored out right away with the "file is corrupt or missing" error with the path WINNT/SYSTEM32/CONFIG/SYSTEMced this is a domain controller, the only server we have. i know it's a registry issue but would like more help that what i can get through a knowledge base article. i have backups online at idrive.com. what do i need to do to restore or repair my registry and get this back online?

looks like you have to restore a backup of the system hive. this article clearly details the steps. please read it and reply with any questions http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269075 Roy Mayo | MCTS MCSE | USA
