samsung recovery help

caris

Switched on my samsung nc10 earlier today and was greeted with:

widows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\windows\systems32\config\system

how do I access my recovery program to do a windows repair either distructive or non distructive restore.

Would really appreciate any help asap.

Thanks

A Basic Restore reloads all the Windows operating system files and leaves all personal files, programs, and settings intact. By reloading the Windows operating system, a Basic Restore can fix many Windows related problems.

To perform a Basic Restore, follow these steps:

1. Tap the F4 Key at the Samsung logo when you first power on the computer. This method would be used if the computer powers on, but Windows does not load.
2. Click Agree to accept the Licensing Agreement. Samsung Recovery Solution 4 loads. If you close the Licensing Agreement dialog Samsung Recovery Solution 4 will close without making any changes.[IMG]http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/us/system/support/content/2010/03/30/h4123/Restore 1.jpg[/IMG]
