Solve : System Recovery Error?

1.	Solve : System Recovery Error?
Answer» I have a compaq presario S3200NX, and am planning to do a full system recovery(restore the computer to the way it was at purchase). When i start the recovery process(i don't have discs, it is a F10 restore) it says a registry file is missing, in some system 32 folder. I would make recovery discs, but my CD burner is broke, and it didn't come with discs. It says no log or alternate can be found for the file and it is stopping the process. It is right at the beginning. What Should I Do?Buy a win98se disk...........and reload the systemUmmm...I have windows XP by the way, and here is the exact message: STOP: c0000218 {RegistryFileFailure} The Registry cannot LOAD the hive(file):\systemroot\system32\Config\SECURITY or its log or alternate. It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.Well you have no disks.........so therefore you have a pc that is not usable.........thats why i suggest......buy a win98se disk........and if you chose to pay out dosh for winxp that will be your choice.........but as it stands.........you may have one option......hold down the f8 key on boot and chose the last good config........if this does not work.........i would advise the above options i have given.
