When I turn the laptop on it cones to a menu: These are the options;
Safe mode
Safe mode with networking
Safe mode with command prompt
[COLOR=“Red”]Last Known good Configuration
Start windows normally
Last know good configuration is the only one that when selected doesn’t freeze the laptop. When chosen it says:
Windows Could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\System32\Config\System
I have no Restore Cd or a windows Xp Cd. I do however have a Cd key for windows Xp on the underside of the laptop.
Any suggestions to fix this will be greatfully welcomed.
Thankyou.

just select “last known good” and then the option to enter safe mode should disapear next boot
BTW: to enter safe mode just press and hold when your system POST’s (beeps)

The thing is when I choose last good… it just says that the file is corrupt and if I press anything it reboots. Its the same everytime.
sorry, just reread your post
